Morbidi Pecorino in Grotta
This full-flavoured pecorino is matured the traditional way – on pine boards in a stone cellar, known as a grotta. It is also coated with hay when it is young to protect the cheese and to add a deep, complex grassy flavour that compliments the rich, buttery flavours of the sheep’s milk. The cheese develops a subtle savoury bite. It is smooth and even on the tongue, coating the entire palate with the flavours of the Tuscan countryside.

Caciocavallo Podolico Slow Food Presidio
Caciocavallo is a unique style of cheese commonly found throughout southern Italy. It is always made in a pear shape, then twisted into a knot at the top and tied together in pairs. This particular caciocavallo is made with the milk from Podolico cows – a rare breed of native cow that produces very high quality milk in very low quantities which gives the cheese an amazing aromatic complexity that lingers on the palate. The flavour is full and piccante with a pronounced bite. This cheese is a member of the Slow Food Presidium.

Absolutely delicious – it will have you coming back for more and more! Casa Madaio are artisan cheese-makers and affineurs.

Mimolette is very wine friendly, pairing well with a variety of sparkling, white and red wines.
