Blumarena: A Symphony of Flavors
Imagine the delicate fusion of blue cow's milk cheese with the sweetness of organic 'Marasche' cherries from Cantiano.
Blumarena is not just a cheese; it's an experience. Massaged with sweetened sour cherry syrup and adorned with cherries, this cheese undergoes a special vacuum-packing process to absorb the tannic aromas fully.
The result is a captivating creaminess, a hint of spiciness, and an overwhelming sweetness, all dancing together in a beautiful balance that lingers on your palate.
Grappa and Fruit: Dessert in Disguise
This mountain cow's milk cheese, matured on spruce boards for over 10 months, is a marvel of the cheese world.
Infused with fruits rehydrated in soft muscatel grappa and Umbrian millefiori honey, it offers a complex bouquet of aromas, from fruity to alcoholic to milky melted and toasted notes, with a distinct sweetness.
"Grappa and Fruit" an enchanting end to any meal, a worthy alternative to traditional desserts.
Pecorino Cheese Wine Flavoured: Drunken with Tradition
Our Tinivello pecorino undergoes a unique refinement process, soaked in fresh Sagrantino DOCG pomace and then vacuumed with Sagrantino Passito DOCG to become "Pecorino Ciucco".
This "drunken cheese" is soft, spicy, and sweetly vinous, embodying the tradition and innovation of Umbrian cheese-making.
Mixed Cheese with Chilly: A Spicy Surprise
Crafted from pasteurised sheep's and cow's milk and enlivened with ground chili pepper, this cheese is a testament to the art of balance.
It is intensely flavorful yet maintains a lightness, with a spiciness that is bold without overwhelming. A true delight for those who appreciate a bit of heat in their cheese.
Mixed Cheese with Truffle: Elegance Embodied
The inclusion of ground truffle in this pasteurised sheep's and cow's milk cheese elevates it to a level of sophistication and intensity that is unmatched.
Its straw-colored appearance, speckled with truffle pieces, hints at the depth of flavor within.
This mixed cheese with truffle is an exquisite choice for anyone looking to indulge in the luxurious taste of truffles combined with the creamy texture of fine cheese.
