Swissmathier Appenzeller Alpage
Appenzell has been made in the Swiss Alps for over 700 hundred years. It is a bit like a gruyere, but with a more pronounced flavour and rich hints of cream and roasted almonds to finish. It is a great cheese for those who like a full flavour and a smooth, even texture that isn’t crumbly.

Gran Kinara
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. From Fattorie Fiandino – an artisan cheesery committed to sustainable farming practices and using 100% locally-sourced milk.
Region: Piedmont, Italy
Milk: Pasteurised Cow
Size: approx 250g wedge

Use it to make a simple caprese salad or on top of woodfired pizza. Air-freighted to guarantee freshness.

Infossato Pecorino Casa Madaio
Infossato is matured in a pit in the ground lined with hay and ferns – an ancient practice through-out central and southern Italy. Over time the cheese develops a sharp sweet/savoury bite, a deep golden colour and firm, crumbly texture. Ideal for anyone who likes a full-flavoured pecorino with some bite – but not too salty. A great choice for antipasti platters or shaving into salads and onto woodfired pizza. From artisan cheese-makers and affineurs Casa Madaio.
