Blu di Moncenisio
Blu di Moncenisio is a mild blue cheese named after the mountainous region from which it hails. It is made with whole milk to create a rich, creamy flavour and a dense, buttery texture. The overall sensory experience is gentle and elegant with a long, smooth finish – not too strong and not too mild, but just right.
Region: Piedmont, Italy
Milk: Pasteurised Cow
Size: approx 250g wedge cut to order
Stracco di Capra
This cheese is a goat’s milk version of Taleggio. It has the same pungent, savoury rind but the goat’s milk adds a unique twist to the flavour – creamy with an underlying floral note and subtle lactic finish. Under the rosy rind the interior is smooth and creamy and melts in your mouth.

Gorgonzola with Truffle
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
This is a ‘Dolce Latte’ Gorgonzola with shaved truffle throughout. The cheese is sweet and creamy with a very mild spiciness coming from the thin blue veins. The truffles add an extra layer of flavour without overpowering the delicate cheese. The finish is creamy and mushroomy, with a hint of warmth and a backnote of truffle.

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.

Asiago Pressato Dop
This young Asiago is perfect for those wanting a milder cheese that still delivers on flavour. It has a smooth, supple texture with lots of eyes through-out, and a sweet, milky, slightly nutty flavour. It is great on panini, sandwiches and party platters. It also melts well and is very popular with children.

Brebirousse
This delightfully oozy cheese is a mild washed rind style made with 100% sheep’s milk from the Argental region of France (most famously known for Roquefort cheese). When young, the flavours are creamy and slightly sweet, with a hint of mushroomy flavour coming from the light orange rind and a gentle nuttiness characteristic of sheep cheese. More mature cheeses will have a stronger flavour, with more pronounced earthy flavours.

Monte Veronese di Malga Dop – Slow Food Presidio 3 years old
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.

Brunet – Goat’s Milk Robiola
Another one of our best sellers, this is a great choice for goat’s cheese lovers and novices alike. It's made in the style of the traditional ‘robiola’ cheeses of Piedmont. The flavour is rich and creamy with a fresh finish and clean goat’s milk flavours. The texture is smooth and even, dense and a little fudgey.

Milk Type: Pasteurised Goat

Buffalo Mozzarella Dop 125g
Accept no imitations – this is the real deal. Fresh mozzarella made to DOP specifications using buffalo milk in Campania, Italy. Once you have tasted the unique flavour – milky, lactic, mossy and sweet – you can NEVER go back. Break it apart with your hands to admire the supple ‘angel hair’ texture. Use it to make a simple caprese salad or on top of woodfired pizza. Air-freighted to guarantee freshness.

Milk: Pasteurised Buffalo

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.
