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.

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.

Forte Scuro translates to ‘strong, dark’ – reflecting the sharp flavours and crumbly texture of this matured cheese rubbed with ash and olive oil during an extended maturation. Even though up-front this cheese is quite bitey, the finish is still well-balanced and grassy – characteristic of good Tuscan pecorino.

Mila Alta Badia
A classic mountain cheese made with whole milk from local farms in the lush mountainous region of Alto-Adige. Alta Badia has a smooth texture and slightly savoury, spicy, nutty flavour which is rich but certainly not strong – it is a little reminiscent of a gruyère, but the texture is a little softer.

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.

Occelli al Barolo
Cheese royalty meets wine royalty – once you taste this cheese you will be hooked! Full flavoured ‘testun’ cheeses are coated with the pressed grapes used to make Barolo wine – the flavours of the cheese and grapes mingle together to create a flavour that is bitey, creamy, sweet, winey, buttery and sharp all at once (testun loosely translates to ‘hard-headed’, referring to the texture of the cheese). Once you cut through the coating of crushed grapes, the texture is flaky and melt-in-your mouth soft.
