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.

Morbidi Pecorino Stagionato in Fossa
This cheese is made according to the ancient practise of ‘pit-maturation’ – this process can’t be rushed and is well worth the wait. Young cheeses are wrapped in a cheese-cloth then placed inside a small stone pit in the ground, which is sealed over to restrict oxygen flow. After a few months the cheeses are retrieved, transformed by the unique environment. A rich, savoury flavour and pronounced bite develop to compliment the sweet, grassy notes in the cheese.

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.
