Gran Kinara
A grana cheese made with non-animal (thistle) rennet! It takes considerable skill to produce a hard cheese using thistle rennet that will mature evenly for such a long time (12 months minimum) and create such a rich, deep flavour with a balanced sweet-savoury bite to finish. The texture is slightly softer than parmesan: smooth; even and moist – perfect for shaving into salads, serving with antipasti or grating into baked dishes. From Fattorie Fiandino – an artisan cheesery committed to sustainable farming practices and using 100% locally-sourced milk.

Fiore Sardo Pecorino Dop – Busso Slow Food Presidio
A rustic pecorino from the island of Sardinia in Southern Italy. It has a subtle, smoky, rustic flavour and round grassy, slightly sheepy notes to finish. During maturation the texture becomes firm and slightly crumbly, but not overly dry. Ideal to serve with antipasti platters, or on a cheese board with our Brezzo Chestnut Honey.

Cinerino Pecorino Casa Madaio
Cinerino is a pecorino coated with aromatic ash from local myrtle trees. In the small town of Castelcivita, the feast of St Anthony is celebrated with bonfires where myrtle branches are burnt – this fine, grey ash is collected and used to coat the wheels of cheese to impart a flavour of myrtle and herbs which balances perfectly with the nutty, grassy notes in the matured cheese. A great choice for cheese and antipasti platters. From artisan cheese-makers and affineurs Casa Madaio.

Caciocavallo Podolico -Slow Food Presidio
Caciocavallo is a unique style of cheese commonly found throughout southern Italy. It is always made in a pear shape, then twisted into a knot at the top and tied together in pairs. This particular caciocavallo is made with the milk from Podolico cows – a rare breed of native cow that produces very high quality milk in very low quantities which gives the cheese an amazing aromatic complexity that lingers on the palate. The flavour is full and piccante with a pronounced bite. This cheese is a member of the Slow Food Presidium.

Epoisses Cremiers Selection 250g

Ubriaco Prosecco
This wine-soaked cheese is gentler than some of the others from this region. A young mountain cheese is soaked with sparkling Prosecco wine. This results in a mild, yet pleasing marriage between the creamy, milky flavoured cheese and the light fruity notes of the wine. It is matured for a minimum of 3 months. The texture is soft and supple – enjoy before dinner with a glass of something bubbly.
