Aged for a minimum of 3 months, this power-packed cheese is made of 100% Tuscan ewe’s milk collected from June through September. Its dark amber rind encases a crumbly straw-colored paste. The pronounced, buttery flavor is enhanced by a sweet and mellow sheepiness and a mild peppery finish.With a texture suitable for slicing, shaving and grating, Pecorino Toscano Stagionato serves admirably as a table cheese or as an addition to any recipe calling for a sharper, more intensely flavored cheese. Try it alongside a bowl of toasted walnuts—the bitter tannins of the nuts complement the oily richness of the cheese perfectly.

Caciocavallo cheese is shaped like a tear-drop and is similar in taste to the aged southern Italian Provolone cheese, with a hard edible rind. It has a mild, slightly salty flavor and firm, smooth texture when young (about 2 months). As it ages, the flavor becomes more pungent and the texture more granular, making it ideal for grating.
Locatelli is the brand name for a very high quality romano cheese. Romano is a grating cheese used alone or in combination with Parmesan. Romano cheese is very, very sharp. Locatelli romano is made from sheep`s milk. Some people call it pecorino cheese which simply means sheep`s milk cheese. Not all pecorino cheeses have the quality of Locatelli. In this case, there is really something to be said for the brand name.
Aged for a minimum of nine months, this cheese is hard and dense. It is pale yellow in color, with a black paper rind bearing the name Locatelli. Grate this cheese and serve it over pasta, soups, and salads. As a dessert, serve it chunked, drizzled with honey, and paired with ripe pears.
Robiola Bosina is a bloomy rind, square shaped Italian cheese that is made from a blend of sheep and cows milk. Produced by the Caseificio dell`Alta Langa dairy in Piedmont, this cheese has a creamy, elastic and supple pate with a rind that is velvety and pillowy. Its appearance has a straw colored pate and a bright white rind. The cheese has full rich flavors that are earthy and mushroomy with undertones of sweetness and tanginess attributed to the sheep milk
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.
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.
