Canestrato Capra Basilischi
Among the oldest cheeses in the traditional Italian cheese. Dating back as early as the fourth century A.C. , The Enotri, shepherds and farmers turned the milk in typical rush baskets, from there its name. The production area includes the south, but even more marginal areas unsuitable for grazing by domestic cattle, grazing by goats valued as inland Lucan between the Val d’Agri and Val Basento and it is here that the company Guffanti selects the best canestrato goat.

Don Carlo Carpenedo
Don Carlo is a noble cheese originating from the Puglia region in southern Italy. It is produced in the historic medieval farm of “Masseria del Duca”, in the province of Taranto. The recipe for the cheese was passed down through generations wherein it was dictated that the raw cow’s milk cheese be made with kid goat rennet.This pale yellow, hard cheese is aged on the location of the old farm. Its pate is crumbly and flakes easily, but is suitable for grating. The rind is rubbed with extra virgin olive oil produced on the same farm.Don Carlo has a salty taste and an intense flavour that becomes pronounced with age. The presence of kid goat rennet gives the cheese a pleasantly spicy kick. Aromatic white wines or young red wine make a great match with this interesting cheese.

Grand Formaggio Di Pecora Sardo
This is a Sardinian pecorino cheese, cooked, coagulated with calf rennet. The flavour highlights the scent of the Mediterranean pastures on which they feed the sheep. Was established with the intent to use all substances present in milk, essential for our body, thus improving the nutritional aspect and in particular, one linked to the digestibility of fat and milk protein. During his long ripening occurs a strong proteolysis and lipolysis: both proteins that fats are broken down into smaller organic molecules, making the product easy assimilation by the body and easier to digest. In addition to the low salt content and the large content of calcium lactate, it is recommended in any diet food, as in that of hypertensive, but also to strengthen the skeletal system and prevent osteoporosis.
Juscht
After being handcrafted in the Vorderfultigen mountain dairy, the cheeses are kept in the dairy and cared for for one month before they are moved to Gourmino’s mountain cave. Here the affineurs treat the “Jùscht” wheels two times a week.The natural climate in the mountain (about 12 °C and 93% humidity) is perfect for the affinage of the “Jùscht.”

Pecorino Fogliano Morbidi whole wheel 800g approx.
Cacio di Fogliano means “Fogliano cheese”: It is the place where the ewes are raised directly by the producer, 2 km from Siena, in Tuscany. A cheese made from raw milk, with no additives other than rennet and salt: its taste changes depending on the time of year, depending on the herbs on which the sheep eat. Pecorino is a famous sheep’s cheese produced in several regions of Italy. Besides Tuscany, we can mention Sardinia, Abruzzo, Lazio or Calabria. Salcis has existed since 1941 in the region of Siena, therefore. It was originally a cooperative intended to produce the most classic products of the famous Tuscan charcuterie. In 1960 Salcis started producing cheeses made from sheep’s milk. Since 1980, the Morbidi family has been at the helm of this family-sized, family-run business, which uses only Tuscan sheep’s milk.
Cacio di Fogliano matured sheep’s cheese is ideal as an aperitif, as a snack, for any snack. Store in a cool place and then in the refrigerator after opening. The marriage is perfect with a Tuscan red wine like a Chianti, a white like a Vernaccia di San Giminano a rosé like our rosé from Tuscany Etel.

Provolone del Monaco DOP
The production area for this cheese is in the municipality of Vico Equense and the nearby Agerola.

It is a stringy paste with deeply rooted traditions that can be ripened for more than two years.

The paste is compact and is characterized by a color that varies from light yellow to straw yellow. The Sasso Nero has a crystalline structure and a slightly melting consistency in the mouth. Its typical flavor and the notes of roasted chestnuts, dried fruit and honey are the result of the long aging. The aftertaste has sweet notes of caramel and chocolate. Its flavor is therefore very complex, vigorous and unmistakable. A cheese of character and distinct recognizability.

Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse Dop
This parmigiano is produced exclusively with the milk of the rare Reggiana red cow – a traditional breed of the region and considered to be the ‘mother’ of parmigiano cheese. The milk from these cows is much higher in solids – allowing the cheese to be matured for longer periods and to develop an amazing depth of flavour. It is fruity, nutty, creamy and incredibly even on the palate. The elegant flavours continue to develop on the palate after swallowing. The white amino-acid crystals through out the cheese are small and even and add a delicious sweet-savoury flavour. The texture is firm and crumbly, but moist and even in the mouth – never grainy. The extraordinary flavour of this cheese means it is an excellent choice to add to cheese platters, or enjoy with pre-dinner drinks. It pairs extremely well with sparkling wines, craft beers and single malt whiskies. It can be used for cooking, but some of the subtle, rich flavours will be lost.
