Honey Cheese

The product is sold vacuum-packed in a bag of approximately 250g.

The 'San Michele in Beeswax' cheese is made from Cacio di Vicio wheels (a pressed cow's milk product) that are washed with hot water before being tanned and prepared to be wrapped in sterilised 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.
