Product Information
All the ranges of Morbidi Pecorino sheep’s milk cheese, aged and matured for a variety of periods, are made with milk from the pastures of Crete Senesi area, where the animals are also bred.
The first 60 days the cheese ripens in the maturation chamber. Afterwards, all cheeses are transferred to natural caves (grottos). There they are rubbed in with linseed oil, put on pine tables and turned once a week. Like this, the cheese ripens again 60 days and slowly develops his powerful but refined and typical truffle taste.

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.

English Cheddar Cave Matured
A classic British cloth-bound cheddar – big and bitey with a hint of cultured butter on the finish. The cloth covering allows the cheese to breath during maturation, creating that distinctive open, crumbly texture. Enjoy with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Wookey Hole Cave Aged Cheddar is a traditional PDO cheddar made on the Ashley Chase Estate in the heart of West Dorset.
The key ingredient for this unique cheddar is the highest quality rich milk sourced from dairy cows that graze the lush pastures of the surrounding countryside. The cheese is made to traditional methods by a highly skilled team of cheese makers. Each stage of the process is performed by hand, from the turning of the curds to the wrapping of each truckle in cheesecloth.
The Cheddars are then taken to the Somerset Caves to mature naturally in an environment which ensures they remain mouth wateringly moist and packed full of the distinctive, earthy and nutty flavours of the Caves.

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.
