L’Etivaz Aop
In the 1930s a group of Gruyère makers formed their own co-operative to make L’Etivaz, named for the tiny village around which they all lived. It is made in the style of traditional artisan Gruyère and protected by appellation law which states it can only be made by hand in a copper cauldron with raw milk from cows grazing on Summer alpine pastures (May – October only). L’Etivaz has a rich, nutty flavour with hints of dried fruit, grassy meadows and melted butter. The flavour is round and long-lasting and will be subtly different from wheel to wheel – a true reflection of terroir.

Fiandino Gran Kinara 250g portion
A grana cheese made with non-animal (thistle) rennet! It takes considerable skill to produce a hard cheese using thistle rennet that will mature evenly for such a long time (18 months minimum) and create such a rich, deep flavour with a balanced sweet-savoury bite to finish. The texture is slightly softer than parmesan: smooth; even and moist – perfect for shaving into salads, serving with antipasti or grating into baked dishes. From Fattorie Fiandino – an artisan cheesery committed to sustainable farming practices and using 100% locally-sourced milk.

Brebirousse 935g square (whole wheel)
This delightfully oozy cheese is a mild washed rind style made with 100% sheep’s milk from the Argental region of France (most famously known for Roquefort cheese). When young, the flavours are creamy and slightly sweet, with a hint of mushroomy flavour coming from the light orange rind and a gentle nuttiness characteristic of sheep cheese. More mature cheeses will have a stronger flavour, with more pronounced earthy flavours.

Cremoso di Bufala Rosso di Casa Madaio
We source this cheese directly from a farmhouse buffalo dairy we found on our travels in Northern Italy – they make cheese each day with milk from their own herd. Rosso is a bit like a buffalo milk version of Taleggio – a pungent, savoury rind on the outside and a creamy, semi-firm texture inside with a beautiful sweet finish thanks to the rich buffalo milk – delicious on cheese or antipasto platters and paired with a glass of Pinot Grigio or Pinot Noir.
