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.

Occelli al Barolo
Cheese royalty meets wine royalty – once you taste this cheese you will be hooked! Full flavoured ‘testun’ cheeses are coated with the pressed grapes used to make Barolo wine – the flavours of the cheese and grapes mingle together to create a flavour that is bitey, creamy, sweet, winey, buttery and sharp all at once (testun loosely translates to ‘hard-headed’, referring to the texture of the cheese). Once you cut through the coating of crushed grapes, the texture is flaky and melt-in-your mouth soft.

Brebirousse 1kg square (whole wheel) Local Sydney & Melbourne Metro Delivery Only
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.

Ragusano Dop
Ragusano is an iconic Sicilian cheese made only with Summer milk. It is made according to traditional methods and pressed to form a large ‘brick’ shape, each cheese weighing about 16 kg. It’s made in the same way as caciocavallo and so tastes similar – the flavour is sharp and piccante and there is a rich aroma of herbs, fresh pastures and creamy butter. A great choice if you like strong flavoured cheese with a pronounced bite.

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 (12 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.
