TOMATO PASTE

Gorgonzola Dolce DOP is a soft, buttery, Italian blue cheese. The word “Dolce” meaning “sweet” in Italian. The cheese originates from the 12th century where it took its name from a small town in Lombardy near Milan. This is a pale and incredibly soft cheese with speckled blue veins running throughout. Traditionally ‘blued’ and ripened in rooms known as ‘purgatory’ where the temperature is kept around 72 degrees Fahreheit and humidity at a high 95%.

A classic, stretched curd cheese, our caciocavallo is soft yet sharp in flavour with a toothsome bite. Moulded by hand into a pear shape, the cheeses are paired, tied with string and placed over a horizontal stick or branch to cure in a cool room. It is thought the name (it translates as "cheese on horseback") hails from a time when the caciocavello was traditionally transported slung over the saddles of soldiers.
