LUXURIA

A blue-refined, then a blue-veined cheese on which we have made a very special refinement, which is treated with Vermouth di Prato, licorice and raspberries. Inserted in the line of 7 capital vices just like lust because it is a cheese that when you hear it you can not think of anything else, a cheese that captivates your senses.

This marbled cheese is made from cow milk and after its period of natural maturation, the rind is completely removed and then treated with this ancient liqueur and massaged the rind with licorice and raspberries. What is most surprising is the balance of the cheese with the added ingredients because in addition to feeling the organoleptic characteristics of flavor and sweetness of the cheese, you can appreciate the added elements such as the freshness of licorice, the slight bitterness of the liqueur and the acidity of raspberry.

In addition to describing the cheese, the ingredients also deserve a proper presentation and illustration, which is why we want to explain what is the white Vermouth of Prato. Produced by the Opificio Artigianale Nunquam of Prato, it dates back to a recipe of 1750, reproduced in a totally manual way, it consists in putting to macerate in white wine, a whole series of spices after crushing them in a marble pestle.

We call it another work of art, but of course we are biased, since every time we try to make a new cheese we are emotionally involved and therefore it seems to us that we have reached the apex of what we had planned. In fact, in the art of refinement there are no rules, often you let yourself be guided by intuition, imagination, the desire to amaze and be amazed … Well, in this case, we have succeeded.

Cheese to be enjoyed at the end of a meal, if you like, instead of dessert or in any case for meditation.
