As do most Tuscan sheep’s cheeses, this one has a sweet and delicate flavor with traces of sheep’s milk. The production area is mainly in the southern parts of Tuscany, on the borders with Lazio. The texture is compact, hard without holes. We recommend pairing with red wines, hot green tomato chutney and Tuscan breads. This is a less salty but more flavorful substitute for Pecorino Romano.
MILK TYPE: Sheep
ORIGIN: Tuscany, Italy

With so many different cheeses available this is a great way to taste and learn about varieties that we don’t see on our menu every day. With such expert selection this is a great way to taste some of the more unusual varieties and share them with family and friends.
Excellent overall. nice nutty/sweet/salty taste. tastes rich and creamy with a savory finish.
From our first bite of this cheese, we were hooked. It has a complexity of taste, never before experienced. That initial reaction was at a fine dining restaurant in Virginia. When I gushed to the waiter, I was thrilled to find out it was a Georgia product. That made the cheese taste even better, if that was possible. Thanks for creating such a delicious product. It has inspired us to drive five hours down to Thomasville from Jasper to visit Capella Cheese in person. Now that's commitment!
Very good, strong cheddar flavor which is delicious. I am used to less expensive cheese but this is very high quality and tastes great!
This cheese has a well balanced amount of salt, and exquisite taste. Perfect to pair with wine or just slice it to enjoy as a flavorful snack.
In today's world where so much is mediocre, high priced, and without good service, Capella Cheese stands out! Their cheeses are well chosen, very flavorful, and their packing and shipping is wonderful. I look forward to trying many more of their cheeses and crackers over the years!
The Ossau Fermier is wonderful and has a kind of toasted nut, lightly gamey, with grassy notes. Firm and rich.
The cheese is delicious! It was wrapped very well and the freezer packs were still cold on delivery. You can't ever go wrong with Rogue River Blue. Such a phenomenal blue and so glad you carry it.
The cheese I received was fresher than the cheese I got from Costco and I didn't have to travel to get it I will be getting my specialty cheeses from you for now on Thanks
