LATTERIA PERENZIN, CACIOTTA WITH BLACK PEPPER & OIL
This goat cheese comes from the Veneto Region of Italy. It is produced in the foothills of the famous range of Mountains known as the Dolomites, specifically in the area known as Belluno Mountains, which lie due North from the famous City of Venice. Here the goats roam freely and the milk reflects the varied grasses, flowers and herbs of these rich mountain pastures. Made with pure goats milk, the cheese is first aged for a period of 3 to 4 months. It will then begin the second phase of maturing. For approximately 3 to 4 weeks the rind will be carefully cured , each cheese being individually rubbed daily by hand with the finest extra virgin olive oil, and then with large grains of fresh black pepper. This perfect blend of a very fine cheese with its delicate and never too strong aroma from the goats milk, together with the extra virgin olive oil and black pepper give us an unusual, very delicious and very interesting cheese.

QUADRELLO DI BUFALA
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.
