This special cheese which we like to call 'San Michele in Beeswax' is made from pressed cow's milk wheels that are washed with hot water before being tanned and prepared to be wrapped in sterilized beeswax sheets brushed with wildflower honey from Umbria.
The beeswax (not edible) so applied gives pleasant floral notes and a slight hint of vanilla, in the mouth it is the sweetness that stands out against a slight acidity given by the freshness of the cheese.
The cheese is made on St Michele's Day, hence the name.
