A soft, blue cheese made with uncooked cow’s whole milk . Its name is that of a small town in Lombardy near Milan, where it is said to have been born in the twelfth century in order to retrieve a forgotten curd of the day before.

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.
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.
The ancient Italian cheese, Montasio, dates back to the 13th century. Born in the beautiful Carnic Alps of northeastern Italy, Montasio was first known as “Carnia” (the name of Friuli’s culture-colliding, mountainous region found between Austria – to the north, and Slovenia – to the east). The herb-saturated alpine pastures on which the cattle graze account for the high-butterfat content milk that forms Montasio’s unmistakable richness and slightly sweet, grassy flavor. After 2 months of controlled aging, Montasio is sold as fresco, Italian for “fresh”. It is the youngest variety of this renowned semi-hard, cooked cheese. Montasio fresco has a white, dense paste dotted with holes, a smooth texture, and a nutty, tangy, yet delicately mild taste within its soft rind that bears the official Montasio Protection Consortium stamp and identification numbers.
