Classic Italian Hard Cheese Comparison (1 pound)

Classic Italian Hard Cheese Comparison (1 pound) Review



Classic Italian Hard Cheese Comparison (1 pound) Feature

  • Assortment of two classic Italian hard cheeses
  • Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano Stravecchio
  • Compare these two heavyweights head-to-head
  • Both are excelleent chunked or grated
  • Imported from Italy
In order to appreciate the subtle differences between Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano (they are actually made from the same recipe), one should taste them side-by-side. That is why we have created this special offering, containing 1/2 pound of each. Enjoy them chunked and drizzled with thick 4-Leaf Balsamico, thinly sliced over caesar salad or carpaccio, or grated over soup or pasta. Each of these cheeses has a long, storied history and the two have been rivals for centuries. Let the debate continue!
  • Grana Padano Stravecchio Oro Del Tempo: Contrary to popular belief, this grand cheese from the Po Vally is not simply an inferior Parmesan. In fact, a premium Grana Padano rivals the best that Parma has to offer. In this example, we serve our Stravecchio (extra aged) variety which earns the name Gold From Time. (8 oz)
  • Parmigiano Reggiano: Internationally known as one of the world's greatest cheeses, by law this hard cheese can only be made in either Parma and Reggio-Emilia from a certain type of milk taken from a certain breed of cow. The law also dictates its minimum aging period, its aging conditions and at least 20 other constraints, meaning that every single 80 pound wheel that gets stamped with the Parmigiano Reggiano brand lives up to a standard that has been lovingly developed over the past 800 years. (8 oz)

Piave by Artisanal Premium Cheese Review



Piave by Artisanal Premium Cheese Feature

  • Specially-selected cheeses by Artisanal Cheese's team of affineurs

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 Veneto, Italy. 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, reminiscent of Parmigiano Reggiano, that intensifies with age and makes this cheese absolutely unique.

Sbrinz by Artisanal Premium Cheese

Sbrinz by Artisanal Premium Cheese Review



Sbrinz by Artisanal Premium Cheese Feature

  • Specially-selected cheeses by Artisanal Cheese's team of affineurs
  • Artisanal's cheeses are aged to "peak" ripeness in our cheese caves
Sbrinz is considered the "Father of Hard Cheeses" that first received its international legal protection for its making in 1957. This raw milk cheese comes in huge 90-pound wheels and, while similar to Parmigiano Reggiano, Sbrinz is made with whole milk rather than skimmed milk. This gives this magnificent cheese a smoother, nuttier and less salty taste. Sbrinz can age gracefully for eight years or more giving the cheese an increasingly graceful and expansive flavor profile and a fine granular texture.

Produced exclusively from the milk of the autochthonous sheep on the Island of Pag, Pa?ki Sir is the most famous ewes' milk cheese in all of Croatia. This is a one-year-aged pasteurized cheese made from the sheep raised on the island of Pag, Croatia. There are a total of 40,000 sheep on the island of Pag; they are smaller than average. The island is windy with little vegetation, what little grass it has is in the hills, and due to the crosswinds much of the salt water blows over it. The sheep produce very little milk, maximum just a liter per day. On top of that their diet is influenced by the salty grass they eat. In total it takes 6 sheep or more to produce one wheel of cheese. Our producer is Pa?ka Sirana. They have 200 members who together have 300 sheep. The cheesemaker, Nenad, has been making cheese for 15 years. The cheese is rich and flavorful - it is not overly dry and there is a beautiful crystallinity in the texture with a gentle sweetness.

Bitto Cheese (7 pound)

Bitto Cheese (7 pound) Review



Bitto Cheese. PRICE PER  7/lb APPROX. This Italian Bitto Cheese  DOP is made from whole cows' milk coming from traditional cow breeds. The Bitto Cheese outside has a straw-yellow colour, which tends to becomes more intense with ageing. This Gourmet Italian Cheese is produced using traditional methods, connected with the environmental characteristics, during the period between June 1 and September 30. The name Bitto appears to be derived from an ancient Celtic word for a type of Alpine cheese coming from the valley of the same name. In more recent times, Bitto cheese has become a well known Italian Cheese in local markets, which show the maintaining of a particular cheese-making process, which is currently recognized under Italian law by a special decree which defines the requisites for the designation of origin.After the coagulating of the milk with calf rennet, making use of the spontaneous development of cheese microflora, the curd is heated and broken into lumps roughly the size of a grain of rice. The curd is then placed in traditional cheese moulds which give it its characteristic concave shape. After salting, Bitto Cheese undergoes the ripening stage, which begins in the traditional "casere d'alpe" rooms and is completed in the production plants down in the valley, following the natural march of the climate in the production area, for a minimum of 70 days, which may be followed by an additional period of ageing lasting up to several years.
