Whole Morbidi Forte Scuro Pecorino Gift Box
Love your pecorino? Buy a whole wheel of Forte Scuro – a mature Tuscan pecorino rubbed with olive oil and ash.
Contains:
A whole wheel of Forte Scuro Pecorino (approx 2.5kg)
All packed in a cheese box with ribbon.
The cheese:
Forte Scuro translates to ‘strong, dark’ – reflecting the sharp flavours and crumbly texture of this matured cheese rubbed with ash and olive oil during an extended maturation. Even though up-front this cheese is quite bitey, the finish is still well-balanced and grassy – characteristic of good Tuscan pecorino. This is a great cheese for anyone looking for a full-flavour that isn’t too salty or piccante.
Region: Tuscany, Italy
Milk: Sheep
Mila Alta Badia
A classic mountain cheese made with whole milk from local farms in the lush mountainous region of Alto-Adige. Alta Badia has a smooth texture and slightly savoury, spicy, nutty flavour which is rich but certainly not strong – it is a little reminiscent of a gruyère, but the texture is a little softer. It is aged for 6 months.

Chabichou du Poitou
A semi-matured goat’s cheese from the Loire Valley in France. The fresh, clean flavours of goat’s milk are complimented by a rich nutty flavour coming from the wrinkly white rind. Under the rind the texture is smooth, with a slightly chalky centre. Pairs well with a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir.

Milk: Pasteurised Goat

Beaufort Chalet d’Alpage Aop
Beaufort is rightfully known as the ‘Prince of Gruyères’ for its smooth texture and lingering flavours of melted butter and sweet floral notes. We select only the d’Alpage (alpine) version: these cheeses can only be made in mountain chalets with rich Summer milk. Beaufort can often seem mild at first, but after a few moments the depth of flavour overtakes your entire palate – creamy, floral, herbaceous and nutty with hints of yeastiness.

Milk: Unpasteurised Cow

Cremeux de Bourgogne with Truffle 500g (whole wheel)
Just in case the triple cream cheese isn’t indulgent enough for you, we have this version with a layer of shaved black truffle through the middle. The characteristic of this cheese is thick and creamy, the interior is complimented by the delicate perfume of black truffles. It is like eating whipped cream with truffles. The texture is smooth and soft – not runny, but definitely ‘melt-in-the-mouth’ territory.

A delicious pecorino to serve on cheese platters, enjoy with a glass of Rosé or Pinot Noir. From artisan cheese-makers and affineurs Casa Madaio.

Brillat Savarin Triple Cream 500g (whole wheel)
Named after famous French gastronome and avid cheese-lover Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, this cheese is pure indulgence without being over the top.

Like other double and triple creams, it does have added salt, but it is very subtle on the finish.
