This is not just cheese; it is an experience by master affineur Beppino Occelli. Made from a blend of cow's and sheep's milk, this cheese is aged for about a year and then lovingly wrapped in chestnut leaves that have been soaked in Grappa. The leaves impart a distinct, rustic aroma and a complex, sweet, and earthy flavor to the dense, buttery paste inside. The taste is rich, lingering, and truly unique.
How to Enjoy:
This is a "meditation cheese" meant to be savored slowly at the end of a meal. It needs strong accompaniments to match its intensity—pair it with dark chestnut honey, high-quality dark chocolate, or dried figs. It demands a complex wine, such as a Barolo Chinato or an aged dessert wine.
