Italian Cheese Platter with Mini Jams Inc. Parmigiano
Reggiano, Gorgonzola, Fig Jam & More
Brand: Vorrei Italian Hampers
Our Cheese Platter Hamper contains a selection of our
favourite Italian mountain cheeses along with a set of four tasty
sauces to pair with them: Organic Pecorino Sardo DOP 200g Our
organic Pecorino is a semi-matured, excellent quality artisanal
cheese made in the little town of Dolianove in the Province of
Cagliari. Pecorino is one of Italy's oldest cheeses and features
heavily in Italian cuisine! Pecorino Sardo is made with raw sheep's
milk (giving it an authentic rural taste) and aged in ancient
vaults. Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Aged 18 months 150g
Artisanally produced at 1000m in the Appenine Mountains, this
wonderful, aged Parmesan is made from raw cow's milk as all DOP
Parmesan should be. Fontina DOP 200g Fontina is a semi-soft alpine
cheese from the Valle d'Aosta. The name Fontina seems to come from
a pasture called Fontin where this cheese was made. Other sources
link it to the village of Fontinaz. The name could also come from
the old French term "fontis" or "fondis" which used to indicate the
special ability of this cheese to melt when heated. Fontina cheese
has a DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) status, a milky aroma -
100 litres of milk are needed to make one Fontina, a creamy texture
and a sweet flavour which intensifies with ageing. Its colour
varies from ivory to an intense hay yellow colour. It is aged for
an average of 80 days. Organic Taleggio DOP 200g This is a sweet,
slightly sour soft cow's milk cheese. It has a characteristic aroma
sometimes with a hint of truffle. Gorgonzola Dolce DOP Gran Riserva
200gCreamier than Stilton, but just as strong, this Organic
Gorgonzola has an aromatic and intense flavour. Set of 4 Cheese
Accompaniments (40g each) These 4 delicious mini jams go perfectly
with our artisanal cheeses. It includes: Fig jam (pair with
Parmesan and Pecorino), Tropea onion jam (great with Taleggio,
Gorgonzola or Cheddar), chilli pepper jam (try with Pecorino) and
chilli and pear jam (good with Asiago, Pecorino and Parmesan). This
delicious selection of cheeses and accompaniments is presented in
our bamboo tray (the cheeses are packed in a chilled box first)
which is wrapped in cellophane and tied with a colourful ribbon.
