Bel Paese
For Reference Only
Bel Paese is made in smallish discs with a thin shiny rind. The paste has an ivory color with a few small holes. It is too firm to spread but a little too soft to slice well. It has a milky, buttery aroma and a gently buttery flavor with a slight tang to it. This bland gourmet cheese was created by the Galbani cheese family in the early part of the twentieth century to compete with the soft French cheeses. The label of the cheese depicts a map of Italy and a face of a young priest with a book called Bel Paese (beautiful land)....
Bra
For Reference Only
Bra D.O.P. cheese is made in the Piedmont region. There are two versions, a young and soft Bra and an aged one that is crumbly and hard. A few Bra cheeses are still made in the mountains and are labeled di alpeggio. The main characteristics of Bra cheeses are that they are pressed and semi hard cheeses partially made from skimmed milk. The younger Bra is called Tenero and is milk and buttery.

Roccolo
Your Price: € 8,01
Roccolo is a complex Italian cow’s milk cheese with a washed rind. This gourmet cheese comes from a region in Italia that is known for its washed rind cheeses; Valtaleggio. Another cheese from that region Taleggio. The cheese is aged about 6 months on pine boards in natural caves; the long maturation and the washing in brine results in a complexity of flavors. The rind is crunchy, salty, and tacky, but does not have the orange-like coloration as you see in many French cheeses. The paste is dense and smooth; the centre is dryer than just under the rind. The color of the paste is very light yellow near the rind to white in the centre. A description of the complex flavors of this gourm...
