Product Information
A semi-hard cheese from pasteurized whole buffalo milk. Its thin rind covered in pressed ground black pepper encases a compact dry paste with small and even eyes. Its complex olfactory notes include butter, umami, yeast, aromatic herbs like salvia, and floral notes of honey. Sweet mouthfeel, with a balanced saltiness and slight milky and vegetable aromatics. A pleasant consistency thanks to its melt-in-the-mouth and crumbliness.

Monte Veronese di Malga DOP Slow Food Presidio
This unique cheese has been matured for 3 years to create a dry, crumbly texture and a very sharp bite with fruity overtones. Some would describe the flavour as a cross between cheddar and parmesan – but this doesn’t quite do the cheese justice. Monte Veronese has its own unique charm and reflects the terroir of the grassy, alpine region where it is made (malga = mountain pastures). This cheese is a member of the Slow Food Presidia.

Mimolette 24months+ Matured
Known for its striking deep-orange colour, Mimolette was apparently created to mimic Dutch cheeses during a time of trade restrictions. While the colour may suggest a ‘strong, bitey’ cheese, the flavour is actually quite round and smooth. It has a predominantly hazelnutty flavour with hints of salt and butterscotch on the end palate. Mimolette is very wine friendly, pairing well with a variety of sparkling, white and red wines.

Latteria Vecchio
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
Latteria Vecchio is an incredibly popular choice for cheese and antipasto platters. Our artisan version has everything you expect from a well-matured, hard Italian cheese – notes of milk and herbs on the front palate and then a slightly savoury bite to finish with a whisper of fruitiness. Notes of salted caramel or butterscotch might be present in extra mature cheeses. The name ‘latteria’ is a variation on the Italian word for community dairy (latterie) and vecchio = old/matured.

Pecorino Stagionato in Fossa Morbidi
This cheese is made according to the ancient practise of ‘pit-maturation’ – this process can’t be rushed and is well worth the wait. Young cheeses are wrapped in a cheese-cloth then placed inside a small stone pit in the ground, which is sealed over to restrict oxygen flow. After a few months the cheeses are retrieved, transformed by the unique environment. A rich, savoury flavour and pronounced bite develop to compliment the sweet, grassy notes in the cheese.
