Product Information
Pyengana Cheddar is a handmade cloth bound cheddar. The cheese is wrapped in muslin cloth to protect the surface of the cheese. The cheese is then sealed with lard to prevent it from drying out. It is then rubbed and turned each week. Pyengana Cheddar is matured in the cellar under the cheese factory in a cave like environment. Natural air ventilation is used to draw cool air 1 km down an underground tunnel to maintain a consistent temperature and an ideal environment for maturing cheddar cheese.
As the cheese matures it develops a strong flavour, it has a crumbly body and a full flavoured bite. Aged for 18 months.

Ragusano Dop
Ragusano is an iconic Sicilian cheese made only with Summer milk. It is made according to traditional methods and pressed to form a large ‘brick’ shape, each cheese weighing about 16 kg. It’s made in the same way as caciocavallo and so tastes similar – the flavour is sharp and piccante and there is a rich aroma of herbs, fresh pastures and creamy butter. A great choice if you like strong flavoured cheese with a pronounced bite.

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.

Mimolette
Known for its striking deep-orange colour, Mimolette was apparently created to mimic Dutch cheeses during a time of trade restrictions. While the colour may suggest a ‘strong, bitey’ cheese, the flavour is actually quite round and smooth. It has a predominantly hazelnutty flavour with hints of salt and butterscotch on the end palate. Mimolette is very wine friendly, pairing well with a variety of sparkling, white and red wines.

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.

A classic mountain cheese made with whole milk from local farms in the lush mountainous region of Alto-Adige.

Mothais sur Feuille

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.
