This is the milder version of Gorgonzola – sweet and gentle, rich and creamy. There is still a touch of spice from the pale blue mould, but it is quickly tamed by the incredible creaminess of this cheese. Gorgonzola Dolce Latte has a luscious texture with some super-runny patches here and there. Even people who say they don’t like blue cheese like this.

Mila Dolomiten
Dolomiten is one of the most familiar and popular cheeses in South Tyrol – Italy’s northern most province bordering with Austria and Switzerland. This cheese is made with milk sourced from small farms in the local valley and is similar in many ways to the mild Swiss cheese Emmenthal. The flavour is sweet and nutty with slight burnt caramel and floral notes. The texture is smooth and even, supple with characteristic ‘eyes’ throughout.

Canestrato Pecorino Casa Madaio
A traditional pecorino from Basilicata hand-made with raw milk from small farms and then cave-matured. Canestrato is named after the woven cane baskets the young cheeses are drained in, which leave a distinctive imprint on the rind. The flavour is full and round with a slightly savoury bite and an elegant but complex finish – each bite offers something different: hints of green grass, butterscotch, roast lamb and dried herbs. Absolutely delicious – it will have you coming back for more and more! Casa Madaio are artisan cheese-makers and affineurs. Their cheeses are aged in caves located in the National Park of Cilento and Vallo of Diano, and have been used by the family to mature cheese for 4 generations.

Beaufort Chalet d’Alpage Aop
Beaufort is rightfully known as the ‘Prince of Gruyères’ for its smooth texture and lingering flavours of melted butter and sweet floral notes. We select only the d’Alpage (alpine) version: these cheeses can only be made in mountain chalets with rich Summer milk. Beaufort can often seem mild at first, but after a few moments the depth of flavour overtakes your entire palate – creamy, floral, herbaceous and nutty with hints of yeastiness.

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.

Named after famous French gastronome and avid cheese-lover Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, this cheese is pure indulgence without being over the top.

Like other double and triple creams, it does have added salt, but it is very subtle on the finish.

Forte Scuro translates to ‘strong, dark’ – reflecting the sharp flavours and crumbly texture of this matured cheese rubbed with ash and olive oil during an extended maturation. Even though up-front this cheese is quite bitey, the finish is still well-balanced and grassy – characteristic of good Tuscan pecorino.
