formaggi
Mauri Taleggio DOP $13
Type: Washed rind
Milk Source: Cows
Approx age: 3 months
Origin: Valsassina, Lombardy
Served with fennel honey.
This smear-surface-ripened cheese is pale when first released, but turns a light golden colour when ripe. Its flavour, when ripe, is said to be emphatic and its aroma hearty and pungent with a creamy texture, with a delicious yeasty taste
Toma Blu alle erbe DOP $14
Type: Semi - hard
Milk Source: Cow's, full cream
Approx age: 12 months
Origin: Cuneo, Piemonte
Served with fresh pear.
This blue cheese is produced with whole cows milk from one or more milkings that has been pasteurized. After a few months of traditional seasoning on wooden planks the cheese goes into barrels where it is garnished with aromatic herbs and spices. The result is a semi-hard, toma style cheese with blue veining, and a lovely strong piccante flavour.
Raschera di Alpeggio DOP $14
Type: semi - soft
Milk Source: full cream cows
Approx age: 6 months
Origin: Cuneo, Italy
Served with grapes
Raschera is a soft, square shaped cheese made with cow's milk which must come from Piemontese cows. The outer-rind is grey-brown, and acquires reddish marks while maturing. It has a fine, delicate and nutty taste. The texture is consistent, elastic, with small ir regular holes dotted throughout the cheese.
