  • Italian Cheese Taleggio DOP 1 lb.


    Taleggio - cow's milk soft stinky cheese DOP, cut cheese - 1 oz/454 gr, Italy.

    The softest, creamiest member of the famous Italian Stracchino cheeses, Taleggio was first made in the valley of the same name, located in the historic province of Bergamo. Taleggio made its debut in the international cheese markets after World War I, around the same time as its cousin Bel Paese.
    Its rough, rosy crust (inedible), pale yellow interior, and rich, buttery, fruity, and slightly salty flavor are what give Taleggio its individuality. Taleggio's soft, incredibly flavorful interior is creamy in texture and has a pungent aroma. The cheese imparts the essence of the Italian countryside.
    Appropriate wines: Goes with a young red from Northern Italy like Valpolicella and Bard...

  • Italian Sheep Cheese Pecorino Toscano Stagionato DOP 1 lb.


    Pecorino Toscano Stagionato DOP - sheep's milk hard cheese, cut cheese - 1 lb/454 gr, Italy.

    This traditional Italian Pecorino Toscano is firm and dense in texture with complex nutty flavor. Unlike our other Pecorino's, this one is not aged. Pecorino Toscano is a young 100% sheep cheese, only about 40 days old when it arrives on our shores. Because it is a young cheese it is somewhat discreet, almost shy. As the cheese first hits your tongue, you detect a hint of Tuscan herbs, grass and wildflowers. The aftertaste it leaves on your palate is a wonderfully complex flavor that is hard to describe but easy to enjoy.
    Appropriate wines: Pecorino cheese goes best with Chianti (Sangiovese).
    Authentic Pecorino Toscano is name-protected by the Italian Government. Th...

  • Italian Cheese Cacciocavallo Silano DOP 4.5-5 lb.


    Caciocavallo Silano - cow's milk hard cheese DOP - 4.5-5 lb/2-2.3 kg, Italy.

    This elite Italian DOP cheese is firm and stringy, made from cow milk. The traditional technique involves hanging the molds astride horizontal rods, which leaves characteristic grooves on the cheese's rind. It delivers a smooth, mild salty taste, and is excellent for pasta dishes.
    This specialty hails from the Southern Italian provinces of Abbruzo, Calabria, Campania and Sicilia.
    Caciocavallo is a traditional pasta filata (stretched curd) cheese made from cow's milk. Other pasta filata type cheeses are Mozzarella and Provolone.
    Caciocavallos are gourd-shaped and come to us in pairs, tied together by a rope that loops around the "neck" of each cheese.

  • Italian Cheese Buffalo Mozzarella DOP 8.8 oz.


    Mozzarella Di Bufala Campana DOP - buffalo's milk cheese in water - 8.8 oz/250 gr, Italy.

    Mozzarella cheese was first made in Italy near Naples from the rich milk of water buffaloes.

    This Italian cheese is a fresh, drawn-curd cheese made from whole buffalo's milk. It is porcelain-white in color, spherical in shape with a very thin glossy edible rind. Mozzarella di Bufala has a springy texture and a pleasant sour taste with a faint mossy smell, reminiscent fo the humid grazing fields of Southern Italy.

    Compliments: This cheese goes well as an addition for texture rather than specific taste. Try it with fresh tomatoes and basil, or if you prefer something less light, prepare a delicious "mozzarella in carozza" (mozzarella in a carriage) or "cro...
