LA CAESERIA, TRUFFLE CHEESE WITH ASH, (TRUFFLE PERLAGRIGIA)
Created by Antonio Carpenedo, Perla Grigia, which translates as “gray pearl”, is the original truffle cheese preserved under ash, or sotto cenere in Italian. This cow’s milk cheese, produced in Veneto, is quite soft and smooth with the distinct characteristic of actual small slices of black truffle incorporated into the paste. Its rind is rubbed with a mixture of beechwood ash and spices that allows the cheese to remain soft and gives it its gorgeous, pearly appearance. Unique and unforgettable, Perla Grigia is exceptional as a table cheese and also possesses a beautiful melting quality that makes it perfect for use in the preparation of many dishes. The history of this company began in early 1900 when Ernest Carpenedo began working as a “casoin” (a dialect term meaning a cheese seller) in a little shop in the village of Preganziol (TV). From these humble beginnings, Ernesto’s son and founder of La Casearia, Antonio Carpenedo, became one of the first cheese affineurs in Italy and today he runs the business with his son Alessandro. “The cheeses of the Antonio Carpendedo cellar” are not only appreciated around Europe but overseas as well.

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.

IL FORTETO, PECORINO TOSCANO ANTICO ORO
From among the throngs of hopeful young pecorinos, these cheeses are specially selected by the master cheese maker at Il Forteto for longer aging and curing. Pecorino Toscano Oro Antico Riserva DOP undergoes lavish Tuscan olive oil treatments worthy of the finest European spas. After its initial olive oil rub down, it goes to relax in a stone cellar for six months where it enjoys further olive oil baths. At last, it is crowned with the red wax seal that marks it as Oro Antico Riserva. The final result is a semi-hard cheese whose herbaceous flavors are complemented by the richness of the sheep`s milk, notes of fruit and nuts, and just a touch of sharpness.

GENUINE FULVI PECORINO ROMANO, DOP
This ancient cheese is made from 100% sheep’s milk collected in the countryside of Rome and produced in Nepi, 15 miles north of the city. Aged 10 months to 1 year and coated in black wax per tradition, Fulvi® is in a class by itself. What separates Fulvi® from other Pecorino Romanos is the higher butterfat content of the whole (not skimmed) sheep’s milk from Lazio, making it less dry and hard than those made in Sardinia. The cheese is also less salty, allowing you to enjoy its rich flavor grated or eaten as is. Even a small amount will create a hearty flavor to enhance your favorite dish.
