Cut Cheese. Any old cheese can call itself "parmesan," but by Italian law, only the Real Deal - made in Emilia Romagna using the same exacting recipe for at least eight centuries - can call itself "Parmigiano-Reggiano." Aged for at least two years, it is unrepentantly fruity with minimal, balanced salinity and the distinct flavor of toasted nuts. Sure it's the perfect grating cheese, but save enough of it to nibble. We will substitute similar or comparable items if the cheese is unavailable.

Asiago d'Allevo Oro del Tempo - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet.com

Asiago d'Allevo Oro del Tempo - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet.com Review



Asiago d'Allevo Oro del Tempo - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet.com Feature

  • Imported from Italy
  • Rich, creamy body and cultured, butterscotch flavor
  • Pairs well with Pinot Grigio
  • Perfect for eating or grating
  • A wonderful addition to your cheese platter at your next gathering
This reserve stock, slow-ripened Asiago is aged for a full year as opposed to regular Asiago d'Allevo's six month span. As a result of the additional maturation, this cheese takes on a distinct but pleasant sharpness with hints of butterscotch. Its texture is firm enough to grate, yet allows it to be served as a delicious table cheese as well. We recommend this cheese as part of a traditional northern Italian meal, grated over risotto, polenta, or pasta.
  • Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.
  • Photo depicts whole 20 lb. form of cheese.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the pound.
  • Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Castelmagno Cheese Wheel (14 pound)

Castelmagno Cheese Wheel (14 pound) Review



Castelmagno Cheese. Price per 14/lb wheel. Castelmagno Cheese  DOP is a Gourmet Italian Cheese that comes from the name of a famous sanctuary dedicated to Saint Magnus, a Roman soldier who, legend has it, was martyred in the Cuneo mountains. Castelmagno cheese began to be made during the twelfth century, more or less at the same time as Gorgonzola with which it shares some similarities. Castelmagno is a cylindrical pressed, semi-fat semi-hard cheese tinged with blue mould. Castelgmano Cheese is made from cow's milk, though sheep's or goat's milk may be added. Castelmagno is made in a number of town districts in the province of Cuneo. Castelmagno Cheese PDO can be produced, matured and packed exclusively in the administrative region of the communes of Castelmagno, Pradleves and Monterosso Grana in the province of Cuneo . The milk intended for the processing must also come from the same communes.Castelmagno can boast the additional mention "Prodotto della montagna" (Mountain product) when the milk production, the processing and the maturing take place in classified areas such as the mountains. If, on the other hand, the castelgmano cheese is produced and matured in the identified area of production, but at an altitude of over 1000 m , it can bear the mention "di Alpeggio" (from mountain pastures).

This domestic cheese is made in the style of the French alpine cheeses, and is made only 6 months out of the year to maintain a truly natural savor.  It is aged using "old-world" techniques, giving it dynamic yet delicate flavors. Signature grassy tasting notes exude from this cheese because of the cows diet during the spring and summer months.

Piave Vecchio - 1 Pounds

Piave Vecchio - 1 Pounds Review



Piave Vecchio - 1 Pounds Feature

  • The land surrounding the ancient Piave river is integral to the character of the cheese
  • The milk is collected, the curd cooked and the cheese aged until hard
  • An intense, full-bodied flavor that increases with age
  • Reminiscent of parmigiano, reggiano or montasio cheese
  • Serve over a salad of bitter greens or on a mixed antipasti platter
Piave is named after the river Piave, whose source is found at Mount Peralba in Val Visdende, in the northernmost part of the province of Belluno, Italy. A winding course brings the river toward the bottom of the valley, until it reaches the plain at the foot of the prealpi Venete mountains in the province of Treviso. The land surrounding the ancient river is integral to the character of the cheese: it is where the milk is collected, the curd cooked and the cheese aged until hard. Piave has an intense, full-bodied flavor that increases with age and that is why Ditalia has brought in the "vecchio" aged Piave, which has been aged from 6 to 12 months. It is reminiscent of parmigiano, reggiano or montasio cheese. We suggest serving Piave over a salad of bitter greens or on a mixed antipasti platter. Other size options (click to view): Piave Vecchio - 5 lb. Piave Vecchio - 10 lb.
