If you’re after something truly unique, Pecuri In I Vigne by Blakesville Creamery should be on your must-have list. This gorgeous sheep’s milk cheese is not only wrapped in wine-soaked grape leaves for a delicately earthy twist, but also aged just long enough to develop a soft, creamy texture that practically melts in your mouth. It’s a heady combination of the distinct aroma of fresh hay and sun-dried leaves, balanced by the natural sweetness of sheep's milk.
The wine-soaked leaves add a mild fruity tang, giving every bite an intriguing mix of savory, earthy, and slightly tangy notes. As it ages, Pecuri In I Vigne gains more body and complexity, evolving into a cheese that’s as perfect for a casual cheese board as it is for an elegant dinner party.
Enjoy sliced or spread with fresh bread and olives or dried fruits. Or let it ripen a little longer to deepen those earthy flavors. Pair it with a drizzle of honey and some roasted nuts for a delightful sweet-savory combo. Serve it alongside smoked meats or charcuterie, and watch the flavors shine or for an adventurous twist, try warming it slightly and spreading it over grilled baguette slices. Trust us—it's a winner.
For pairing, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a fruity, dry rosé will play up the tangy notes, while a sparkling wine or even a medium-bodied red like Pinot Noir will complement the richness. If you’re in the mood for something a bit more adventurous, go for a light, floral gin cocktail or a wheat beer.
