L’Etivaz Aop
In the 1930s a group of Gruyère makers formed their own co-operative to make L’Etivaz, named for the tiny village around which they all lived. It is made in the style of traditional artisan Gruyère and protected by appellation law which states it can only be made by hand in a copper cauldron with raw milk from cows grazing on Summer alpine pastures (May – October only). L’Etivaz has a rich, nutty flavour with hints of dried fruit, grassy meadows and melted butter. The flavour is round and long-lasting and will be subtly different from wheel to wheel – a true reflection of terroir.

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.

Cremeux de Bourgogne with Truffle 500g (whole wheel)
Just in case the triple cream cheese 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.
