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.

These are very specially selected wheels of the very finest Grana Padano, which then are carefully extra aged for a minimum of 22 to 24 months. The result is an extraordinary cheese that is very fragrant and intense while still retaining its special delicate, fruity and light characteristics. Each cheese is one of a kind, labeled with the unmistakable seal ORO DEL TEMPO with the serial number of the dairy, the place of origin, the month of production and the number assigned to the product, all which guarantees the utmost quality of the product.
Cacio Di Bosco al Tartufo is a Tuscan cheese made from sheep`s milk. It is studded with tiny specks of truffles and is pure heaven to eat. The long maturation balances the taste of pecorino with the strong taste of truffle, and it has a friable and slightly sour paste. The ingredients blend together superbly, making for a beautiful balance between garlicky truffle and nutty, sweet, almost caramelized aged sheep`s milk. This delicious cheese is firm, smooth, and oily, dotted with big flecks of truffle. It is refreshing as a table cheese and also shreds well to top risotto
Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto is a fresh cheese from sheep`s milk and cow`s milk. A precious harmony between the pronounced taste, the pungent truffle`s flavor and the delicate, sweet taste of the tender paste.
Grana Padano is an Italian semi-fat, hard cheese with a finely grained texture. It is pale yellow in color and has a delicate flavor. It is made from top quality milk from cows that have been fed and raised under strict guidelines. Grana Padano is a registered trademark name given to cheese that is made in certain geographical regions of Italy.
Grana Padano is considered an excellent grating cheese, which makes it a great complement to many foods, such as salads and pasta. Grana Padano is very similar to Parmigiano-Reggiano but has been aged for less time and has a more delicate flavor.
Wine Pairing:
Pair with a fine Italian Brut or Vino Lugano for white; a Barolo or Brunello for red. For a longer aged (over two years) Grana Padano, you can pair it with a fortified wine such as Marsala Soleras.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve this cheese as a table cheese with nuts or grapes; or grate it over pasta and other dishes.
Buffalo were originally brought to Italy in the 7th Century and references to cheese made from their milk appeared in the 1300’s. Today, Quattro Portoni makes over 25 different types of cheese from buffalo milk. We are lucky enough to carry their Quadrello® di Bufala. A washed-rind buffalo milk cheese made in the style of Taleggio, it has a rind that ranges from pale pinkish red to oatmeal colored and drier. In both instances the rind protects the cheese so it stays delicious. It has richness from the buffalo milk, mingled with the saltiness of a washed-rind cheese. Quadrello® is wonderfully creamy and sweet with a slight tang in the finish.
