LATTEBUSCH, PIAVE, 1 YEAR

Characterized by a sweet, full-bodied flavor, this Piave is aged for over 12 months for a true taste of the Belluno cheesemaking tradition. Because the cheese ages for a full year, the texture becomes quite crumbly and grainy, wonderful for snacking and grating.

ARRIGONI, TALEGGIO
In the Bergamo region of northern Italy, the country’s most enduring washed rind cheese was born. Taleggio, made in the valley of the same name, has a soft, creamy and extremely flavorful interior with a salty, rose-to-orange colored crust. Known for its intense aroma, Taleggio is a member of the Italian Stracchino cheeses. Though relatively new to the cheese scene (it was formally named and released in the market following World War I), this cow’s milk delight originated in the 11th and 12th centuries, as cheese makers sought to develop methods to preserving these delicate cheeses. What makes the Arrogoni Taleggio unique is that it is still hand formed, salted and aged in Italy. Adorned with a Denominazione di Origine Protetta (D.O.P.) status, this Taleggio is washed with sea water and aged for at least 30 days to develop its assertive and tangy flavors.

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.

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.
