Italian Cheese

Giorgio Cravero and his family have been aging wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano in their caves since 1855. Each wheel arrives in the Piedmont at a year of age and is flipped every two weeks to ensure a smooth texture with delicate crystals throughout. Notes of sweet fresh cream give way to a robust, brothy finish. Pair with Prosecco and a drizzle of Villa Manadori aged Balsamic. 

The classic Italian melting cheese. Fontina holds it out while standing apart from the swiss and french greats. Versatile and workable, this cheese holds its own on the cheeseplate as well with distinct notes of mushroom and cured meat.

One of family cheesemakers Casa Madaio's most precious wheels, this sheeps' milk cheese is aged to crystalline perfection in natural stone caves perfumed with locally-sourced spring herbs. A bit of toothy bite gives way to flavors of sweet thyme blossoms and sun-baked grasses.

Goats graze on coastal hillsides and produce milk with incredible, nuanced flavor. Casa Madaio's three generations of cheesemakers handle the milk with the utmost care to form compact wheels of Caprotto - a cheese they describe as "delicate and harmonious," with notes of hazelnuts and bright flowers. Sliceable, snackable, and loveable.

Calling forth a breezy spring day on Tuscan hillsides, Marzolino is a young, incredibly nuanced sheeps' milk. Made from the first grassfed milkings of the year, once the winter breaks and the sheep are turned out to pasture. The stone-shaped cheeses are then rubbed with olive oil and tomato; Marzolino is herbaceous and bouncy, with a slightly funky, sheepy finish. A beautiful snapshot of Tuscan terroir.
