Full Product Details
SKU: 833S
The literal translation of this cheese's name is a simple one - in the dialect of Alta Val Brembana (the production area of Formai de Mut) formai means cheese and mut means mountain. This rare "mountain cheese" is referred to as "a small masterpiece of the Alpine cheese-making art" by the Italian Government's Ministry of Agriculture. All Formai de Mut is manufactured from Alpine milk, taken from cows that graze at altitudes higher than 1,200 meters above sea level. Formai de Mut is made from unpasteurized milk and is aged for over 6 months. Its flavor is subtle yet distinctive, retaining the fragrance of the herbs of Val Brembana.
Enjoy with full bodied red wines. Former de Mut pairs well with honey, fresh fruit, especially pears, and black rye bread. Perfect in Polenta Taragna.

How We Ship
FreshWave Packaging
Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality.
For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.
Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
