Product Information
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.

Mimolette
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.

Cremoso di Bufala Rosso di Casa Madaio
We source this cheese directly from a farmhouse buffalo dairy we found on our travels in Northern Italy – they make cheese each day with milk from their own herd. Rosso is a bit like a buffalo milk version of Taleggio – a pungent, savoury rind on the outside and a creamy, semi-firm texture inside with a beautiful sweet finish thanks to the rich buffalo milk – delicious on cheese or antipasto platters and paired with a glass of Pinot Grigio or Pinot Noir.

Montasio Stravecchio Dop
Montasio is the most famous mountain cheese from the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli. We select only very mature wheels (around 3 years old) as the extended aging leads to the development of a subtle, savoury bite perfectly balanced with notes of cream and tropical fruit on the finish – especially pineapple. Montasio is a very popular cheese that works well with pre-dinner drinks, cheese boards and antipasto platters.

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.
