Product Information
Raschera is a traditional cheese from the mountainous Cuneo province in Piedmont – it’s been made in this region for centuries, and today is still made according to traditional recipes and methods. Raschera is a tomme-style cheese with a natural rind and a semi-firm, slightly open texture. It has an amazingly smooth, rich flavour – notes of cultured butter and crème fraîche with mild savoury and grassy notes lingering on the end palate. It’s a very wine-friendly cheese and a popular choice for cheese platters served with our Senga Pear & Cinnamon jam.

Toma Blue alla Erbe
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
This cheese may look unassuming, but don’t be fooled – it has a strong, spicy flavour. After spending 2 months aging on wooden boards, the wheels are coated with herbs and packed into wooden barrels to mature even further – it is during this time that the bold earthy flavours, herbaceous notes and deep spiciness develop.
