Italian Cheeses:
Parmigiano Reggiano D.O.- This regal cheese is one of the most underrated cheeses in the world - because of the many inferior copies, the granas and the dust that passes as grated parmesan people forget what the real thing is like. Once you have tasted this one there is no turning back. Aged between 28 and 30 months it is deliciously fruity (a clear taste of pineapples) with a pronounced tang and a delicate crunch. Perfect served as little gold nuggets after dinner with honey. Serve with well-knit, full bodied wines. Official Website €2.80/100g
Gorgonzola D.O.– This sweet milky blue from Italy is made from cow’s milk and always has a gentle bluing. While sweet, it is also quite pungent at room temperature - another versatile cheese that stands up well to big wines. €2.30/100g
Taleggio - D.O. - This semi-soft Italian cheese is more than meets the eye, its initial mildness gives way to a fruity fullness of flavour. The texture buttery, melting nicely in the mouth. Often used in cooking it is just as commonly seen on the cheese board. Very versatile when it comes to wine pairing. €1.80/100g
We also stock : Grana Padano, Pecorino Romano, Bocconcini and Cambozola
