Ubriaco di Amarone
Cheese and wine combined – this is one of the famous ‘drunken’ hard cheeses of Italy, matured for a minimum of 12 months. This full-flavoured cheese is soaked in the local red wine, which stains the rind dark purple and seeps into the cheese creating ‘purple veins’ and amazing depth of flavour. It is strong and bitey with pronounced wine and grape flavours. The texture is firm, smooth and slightly flaky – the wine soaking helps to keep it moist.

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!

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.

Blu di Moncenisio
Blu di Moncenisio is a mild blue cheese named after the mountainous region from which it hails. It is made with whole milk to create a rich, creamy flavour and a dense, buttery texture. The overall sensory experience is gentle and elegant with a long, smooth finish – not too strong and not too mild, but just right.

Latteria Vecchio
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
Latteria Vecchio is an incredibly popular choice for cheese and antipasto platters. Our artisan version has everything you expect from a well-matured, hard Italian cheese – notes of milk and herbs on the front palate and then a slightly savoury bite to finish with a whisper of fruitiness. Notes of salted caramel or butterscotch might be present in extra mature cheeses. The name ‘latteria’ is a variation on the Italian word for community dairy (latterie) and vecchio = old/matured.

Mimolette 24months+ Matured
Known for its striking deep-orange colour, Mimolette was apparently created to mimic Dutch cheeses during a time of trade restrictions. While the colour may suggest a ‘strong, bitey’ cheese, the flavour is actually quite round and smooth. It has a predominantly hazelnutty flavour with hints of salt and butterscotch on the end palate. Mimolette is very wine friendly, pairing well with a variety of sparkling, white and red wines.
