PECORINO CAMOMILLA (CHAMOMILE)
Camomilla is produced in May and June, when the sheep graze on the best grass of the year and the fields are covered with chamomile flowers. Paolo was again inspired by memories of his grandma, who would put the cheese in large wooden crates covered with fresh cut chamomile to preserve it as it aged. The wheels were stored closed up under the arches during the afternoon heat and then placed in a cool pantry in the evening. The process maintained the cheese’s softness, as well the floral aroma. Paolo has spent the last several years dedicated to recreating this one of a kind cheese that has hints of herbal sweetness and fresh cut apples.

ITALIAN IMPORTED PROVOLONE
Provolone is a northern Italian cheese that can be thought of as Mozzarella`s older brother. Take some Mozzarella, form it into your favorite shape, and rub it down with brine, bind it with rope and hang it from the ceiling for a few months and Voila! – you have just made Provolone. There are two varieties of Provolone. Dolce (meaning sweet) is the mild version and Piccante (meaning sharp) is its spicy, more aged counterpart. We love this Piccante version, which is rarely available in the U.S .and much more interesting than the mild Provolone most Americans have come to know. One of the great sandwich cheeses, Provolone Piccante is also an excellent melting cheese that is perfect in omelettes or atop a toasted baguette.
