This sampler features four cheeses that are typical of four distinct regions of Italy:
- Provolone Piccante: The piccante (sharp) version of this classic Italian cheese is more complex than the younger dolce version. Provolone is great on sandwiches or chunked into an antipasto salad. (1/2 lb)
- Grana Padano DOP: The original hard Italian cheese, Grana Padano is a firm, dry, fruity cow's milk cheese from the Po Valley of Northern Italy. Chunk it for snacking or grate it over pasta, vegetables or soup. We love it served as a table cheese drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. (1/2 lb)
- Gorgonzola Dolce: Italy's famous blue cheese comes from Lombardy. Made from whole cow's milk taken from local herds that graze on beautiful rolling pastures, no Italian Cheese Assortment would be complete without a cut of authentic Gorgonzola. (1/2 lb)
- Young Pecorino Toscano DOP: This soft 3 month sheep's milk cheese is made in the hills of Tuscany. It is young, sweet and springy. A natural partner with pears! We find that this combination well represents the wide variety of flavors and textures found in Italian cheeses. (1/2 lb)
- Fontal: Smooth, creamy, and full of mild, buttery flavor, this soft and gentle cheese is perfect for paninis and cheese boards, for a lovely Italian flair! (1/2 lb)
