This cheese, created as a joke… or almost, has instead gained popularity and interest year after year. In one form it says EVARISTO and in the other ERNESTO and obviously it is sold in pairs.
The peculiarity of this cheese lies in the fact that once the correct maturation has been reached it is tied in pairs with string and undergoes rind treatments with beeswax, this gives it protection (slowing down its maturation) and characterizes its presentation.
It is available in particular for holiday periods and only upon reservation at least 60 days in advance. Other productions can also be scheduled during the year but are subject to a minimum production batch of at least 20 pairs.
Pasteurised sheep MILK, live milk enzymes, rennet, salt. Crust treated with beeswax.
Allergens: Milk and milk derivatesMilk origin:
Italy
SHAPE: shaped like a little ball, with rounded sides and surfaces, about 500-600 grams each (two are about 1-1.2 Kg ).
EXTERNAL FEATURES: the rind is hard, compact and smooth. They are dipped in beeswax, which gives them a golden colour.
INTERNAL FEATURES: the paste is raw and slightly chalky, ivory white with evident undercrust.
AROMA: lactic, acidic, with scents of yogurt and walnut as well as slight hints of cauliflower and boiled vegetables.
TASTE: it crumbles in the mouth, is balanced, sweet and slightly acidic and salty.
- Food pairings:
Great with Williams/Bartlett pears, vegetable preserves, gelatine, or honey.
- Wine pairings:
Pairs well with red wines that are not very full-bodied.
