Academia Barilla Sardinia Pecorino Gran Cru - 1lb. Wedge(more) »rank: 5031from: Academia BarillaOur review: :The Gran Cru is a newcomer on the scene building on a long tradition of Sardinian pecorinos. Its exquisite taste comes from a combination of three elements: the richness of Sardinian sheep's milk, production process based on the Parmigiano method, and 20 months of aging (a typical pecorino is aged 4 to 6 months). The use of the Parmigiano maturation method better preserves and accentuates the characteristic flavors of Sardinian milk. Featuring a noble structure and firm texture, it surprises by the complexity of its aromas and the sweet undertones of fresh milk. Aroma and flavor: Fragrant, with notes of herbs and ... Detail |

The cheesemakers coat the cheese with herbs and flowers and then seal it with transparent wax. Throughout the cheese´s 6-month ripening period, the combined essences seep into the cheese's paste, rendering an innovative semi-hard cheese bursting with aroma. The creamy cow's milk ... Detail |

Rosy Goat (15 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 5378from: igourmetOur review: :For some, the tangy bite of goat cheese can be too strong, but for others the unique flavor of goat cheese has an irresistible allure and that tang is the best part.

Testun al Barolo (8 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 5379from: igourmetOur review: :The word 'testun' means stubborn in Cuneo dialect. This cheese is aptly named, as it is the most difficult to produce among all cheeses from Mondovi (Robiola, Raschera, Ormea, Valcasotto) and it is the one which requires the longest time to ripen (twelve months on average). It is made from pure sheep or goat's milk, depending on availability, although sometimes a little cow's milk is added as well. Whichever milk is used, it all comes animals that graze freely on alpine pastures, lending the cheese the perfumes of wildflowers and grass. Depending on the meadows and the season, the cheese can take ... Detail |
