Beppino Occelli has created an original and new cheese. Only a few forms, carefully selected, are aged over a very long period of time and then coated with malted barley and whiskey. The final result is a unique cheese with a strong and complex fragrance. The whiskey goes down wonderfully with the flavour of malted barley, so much so that it can be enjoyed with the same distillate.
Four kinds of milk: Buffalo, Sheep, Cow and Goat milk, have been paired together into this one fine cheese. The combination of four grass fed milks seem to to have composed a cheese symphony. It is just an amazing cheese, creamy and full of layers upon layers of flavor.
Pico is a petite goat’s milk soft cheese, likened to a Camembert, but with a flavour all of its own. It is a delicate cheese, with a goaty tang, but with a rich buttery creaminess. The cheese is aged to produce an earthly and tender rind. Try it with a fruity Champagne for a flavour harmony that is sure to please.
Available in:
Made with a drizzle of honey added to pure goat milk for a cashew-like nutty sweetness. Slightly sweet, full of flavor, yet not strong or salty. Easy to slice, grate or cube, wonderful in salads or as a snack with fruit.
Pressed, washed, uncooked cheese made from Murcian goats’ milk and cured for a minimum of 45 days for large cheeses and 30 days for small ones. Macerated in red wine during ripening to give the rind the characteristic color and aroma.
A pleasantly sharp aroma and unsalty flavor. The red wine in which the cheese is soaked during ripening gives a flowery aroma and a pleasant aftertaste with reminiscences of goat’s milk and cream. The texture is creamy and elastic.
Cylindrical in shape, the height is 6-7 cm (2½ -3”) and the diameter 7-9 cm (3-3½”) in cheeses weighing 300-400 g (10-14 oz) and, in the larger ones weighing 1-2 kg (2.2-4-4 lb), the height is the same but the diameter is 12-18 cm (5-7”). The rind is smooth, very light and a characteristic wine color. The paste is dense, compact when cut, ivory-colored and may have a few small holes.
