• 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.

  • SERGIO MORO, FIOR D’ARANCIO BLU

    From the producer of Umbriaco Pinot Rosso and Fior d’Arancio, these smaller wheels of semi-firm, slightly crumbly cow’s milk are washed in red wine, and pierced to allow the wine to permeate the paste in striking, boozy striations.  The cheese is then covered with grape leaves to protect the piercing holes from mold, and add an additional visual element.

  • SIRBONE TRUFFLE PECORINO MOLITERNO

    Unlike most truffled cheeses, the truffle shavings for this cheese are not added until the cheese is already semi-aged.

From Sardegna, this cheese is made from 100% raw sheep milk.

  • SORESINA, SMOKED CACIOCAVALLO, IMPORTED

    Caciocavallo, which means `cheese on horseback`, gets its name from the manner in which the cheese is always tied together in a rope and dangled over a wooden board to drain and age. An Italian type of pasta filata cheese made out of sheep`s or cow`s milk, it is produced throughout Southern Italy and the Balkans. Continuous exposure to humidity in the caves and aging develops sharp, spicy flavours in Caciocavallo. With persistent aging, the cheese picks up intense, earthy undertones and fruity aromas. Along the way, it turns from a milky white to a darker yellow in colour and becomes more salty. The result is a cheese with profound tasting notes and perfect accompaniment to a glass of Primitivo red wine.
