Stracco di Capra
This cheese is a goat’s milk version of Taleggio. It has the same pungent, savoury rind but the goat’s milk adds a unique twist to the flavour – creamy with an underlying floral note and subtle lactic finish. Under the rosy rind the interior is smooth and creamy and melts in your mouth.

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.

Appenzeller
Appenzeller has been made in the Swiss Alps for over 700 hundred years. It is a bit like a gruyere, but with a more pronounced flavour and rich hints of cream and roasted almonds to finish. It is a great cheese for those who like a full flavour and a smooth, even texture that isn’t crumbly.

Monte Veronese di Malga Dop – Slow Food Presidio
This unique cheese has been matured for 3 years to create a dry, crumbly texture and a very sharp bite with fruity overtones. Some would describe the flavour as a cross between cheddar and parmesan – but this doesn’t quite do the cheese justice. Monte Veronese has its own unique charm and reflects the terroir of the grassy, alpine region where it is made (malga = mountain pastures). This cheese is a member of the Slow Food Presidia.

Quadrello di Bufala
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. Quadrello 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.

Montasio Stravecchio Dop
Montasio is the most famous mountain cheese from the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli. We select only very mature wheels (around 3 years old) as the extended aging leads to the development of a subtle, savoury bite perfectly balanced with notes of cream and tropical fruit on the finish – especially pineapple. Montasio is a very popular cheese that works well with pre-dinner drinks, cheese boards and antipasto platters.

Brillat Savarin with Truffle 500g (whole wheel) Local Sydney & Melbourne Metro Delivery Only
Just in case the triple cream cheese Brillat Savarin isn’t indulgent enough for you, we have this version with a layer of shaved black truffle through the middle. The characteristic of this cheese is thick and creamy, the interior is complimented by the delicate perfume of black truffles. It is like eating whipped cream with truffles. The texture is smooth and soft – not runny, but definitely ‘melt-in-the-mouth’ territory.

Taleggio Dop
A little bit stinky and a whole lot of tasty, Taleggio is easily recognised by its deep orange washed rind. This Italian classic has a pungent aroma and a rich, creamy flavour with savoury hints of smoked meats and lightly fried mushrooms. It’s soft and smooth with a creamy finish – enjoy with a beer or glass of Pinot Grigio. Taleggio works well on a cheese platter or use it make a Taleggio, thyme and mushroom pizza – delicious!
