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.
Gorgonzola is Italy’s only blue-veined DOP cheese. At Caseificio Gelmini, Gorgonzola is handmade from start to finish. The magic begins with the purest and finest cow’s milk from Lombardy combined with a careful balance of ingredients. Each wheel is salted and turned by hand, enhancing the flavors of this slightly spicy, very robust version of the classic Italian blue. Piccante Gorgonzola features a firm interior with streaks of blueish-green veining. The hard rind, which is amber in color, protects the luscious, almost crumbly interior and its balance between sweet and savory.
Produced according to ancient traditions in the sheepfolds by Sardinian shepherds with raw milk to preserve the high nutritional value of sheep’s milk. The texture inside is firm, it has a characteristic smoky aroma and a spicy, savory taste. It has the typical shape “a dorso di mulo” that means rounded sides, a wrinkled rind, smoked and dark in color due to the treatment with olive oil during maturation. The cheese inside is white tending to straw-yellow. After selecting the best cheese, the Pinna Company takes care of the maturation, the smoking process and the product marketing stage.

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.
