Product Information
Roccolino with PGI Balsamic Vinegar of Modena: the aroma of the milk and the mould of one combined with the delicate, persistent and balanced acidity of the other. The cheese is white and slightly crumbly with a rind that’s brown, almost black like the Balsamic Vinegar that covers it when it is immersed after a long maturing process. To the palate Roccolino Nero Imperiale is an explosion of intense but well-balanced flavours that range from acidic to buttery.
Ideal paired with full-bodied and fruity red wines or sparkling wines. It’s excellent for aperitifs, appetizers and to enrich salads, or as a creamy addition to pasta or rice dishes.

Pecorino in Grotta
This full-flavoured pecorino is matured the traditional way – on pine boards in a stone cellar, known as a grotta. It is also coated with hay when it is young to protect the cheese and to add a deep, complex grassy flavour that compliments the rich, buttery flavours of the sheep’s milk. The cheese develops a subtle savoury bite. It is smooth and even on the tongue, coating the entire palate with the flavours of the Tuscan countryside.

This is the milder version of Gorgonzola – sweet and gentle, rich and creamy.

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.

Comté AOP, Marcel Petite Fort St An. matured 48months
Our 48 month Comté from Marcel Petite has been specially matured to develop an amazingly complex flavour that will have you coming back for more and more – sweet roasted nuts, hints of yeastiness, rich cream and an echo of grassy mountain pastures. The texture retains a smooth consistency, but becomes firm and condensed over time. Small, white amino acid crystals can be seen through-out the interior – the sign of a well matured cheese. Very Rare indeed!

Latteria Vecchio
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
Latteria Vecchio is an incredibly popular choice for cheese and antipasto platters. Our artisan version has everything you expect from a well-matured, hard Italian cheese – notes of milk and herbs on the front palate and then a slightly savoury bite to finish with a whisper of fruitiness. Notes of salted caramel or butterscotch might be present in extra mature cheeses. The name ‘latteria’ is a variation on the Italian word for community dairy (latterie) and vecchio = old/matured.
