The cheese: This full-flavoured pecorino is matured the traditional way – on pine boards in a stone cellar, known as a grotta. It is coated with fresh hay when it is young to protect the cheese and to add a deep, complex grassy flavour that compliments the rich, buttery flavours of the sheep’s milk. The cheese develops a subtle savoury bite. It is smooth and even on the tongue, coating the entire palate with the flavours of the Tuscan countryside.

Milk: Sheep

Roquefort AOP
Roquefort is one of the most famous French AOP cheeses. The flavour is big and bold with a burst of spicy blue mould on the front palate. The finish is creamy – but in an entirely different way to a cow’s milk cheese – more grassy and nutty, very deep and lingering. A salty note hums away in the background, bringing balance to all the flavours. Serve the French way – on a baguette with farmhouse butter and truffle honey.

Monte Veronese di Malga Dop – Slow Food Presidio 3 years old
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.

Herve Mons Abondance AOP
Abondance is named after a town and a breed of cow – the milk of which must be used to make the cheese. It is a mountain-style cheese with a smooth, firm texture and earthy aroma reminiscent of the cellars where the cheeses are matured. The flavour is slightly savoury at first, giving way to a creamy sweetness with flavours of roasted nuts, freshly cut grass, mountain herbs and butter.

Brillat Savarin with Truffle (Triple Cream) 500g
Just in case the triple cream cheese Brillat Savarin isn’t indulgent enough for you, we have this version with a layer of shaved truffle through the middle. The characteristic light, creamy 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.
