Product Information
If you like goat’s cheese, you will love Caprinelle – a beautiful semi-hard goat’s milk tomme from Southern France. It has a delightful goat’s milk flavour with a surprisingly creamy finish for a semi-hard cheese. Fresh, clean citrus notes shine through with just a whisper of butterscotch and salt on the back palate. A timeless classic that pairs well with a variety of sparkling and white wines.

Taleggio Dop
A little bit stinky and a whole lot of tasty, Taleggio is easily recognised by its deep orange washed rind. This Italian classic has a pungent aroma and a rich, creamy flavour with savoury hints of smoked meats and lightly fried mushrooms. It’s soft and smooth with a creamy finish – enjoy with a beer or glass of Pinot Grigio. Taleggio works well on a cheese platter or use it make a Taleggio, thyme and mushroom pizza – delicious!

Raschera Dop
Raschera is a traditional cheese from the mountainous Cuneo province in Piedmont – it's been made in this region for centuries, and today is still made according to traditional recipes and methods. Raschera is a tomme-style cheese with a natural rind and a semi-firm, slightly open texture. It has an amazingly smooth, rich flavour – notes of cultured butter and crème fraîche with mild savoury and grassy notes lingering on the end palate. It's a very wine-friendly cheese and a popular choice for cheese platters served with our Senga Pear & Cinnamon jam.

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.

Quadrello
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. Quadrello 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.
