Italian Cheese Sampler

Italian Cheese Sampler (2 pound) by igourmet.com

This sampler features four cheeses that are typical of four distinct regions of Italy:

• Provolone Piccante – The piccante (sharp) version of this classic Italian cheese is more complex and great on sandwiches or chunked. (8 oz.)
• Grana Padano Stravecchio – The original hard Italian cheese, Grana Padano is a firm, dry, fruity cheese from the Po Valley of Northern Italy. Stravecchio is aged for an optimal 20 months. Grate it over pasta, vegetables or soup, or serve it as a table cheese drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. (8 oz.)
• Mountain Gorgonzola – Italy’s famous blue cheese comes from Lombardy. Made from cow’s milk taken from local herds that graze on beautiful rolling pastures, no Italian Cheese Assortment would be complete without a cut of authentic Gorgonzola. (8 oz.)
• Pecorino Toscano – This soft, sheep’s milk cheese is made in the hills of Tuscany. It is young, sweet and springy. We find that this combination well represents the wide variety of flavors and textures found in Italian cheeses. (8 oz.)
