This cheese, born several years ago of the wish and experience of casA, is named ayer the tradiUonal structure. Having won numerous naUonal and internaUonal awards, Roccolo Valtaleggio has taken its place as our flagship cheese. It is encased in a thin, rough, brown-colored rind. The centripetal aging process, progressing from the surface to the core, grants the paste a delicate bu)ery texture toward the outside while the center remains white and crumbly. It thus offers dual flavors: an extremely intense and sweet outer layer enclosing a slightly tangy and fresh center. It is aged for an average of 6 months. Nababbo: A washed-rind cheese that is slightly pink in color. On the inside, the paste is the bright white characterisUc of soy goat cheese. Our Nababbo has a creamy and supple texture that closely resembles typical Lombard cheeses. It is aged in our cellars for over 40 days. The result has a mild, bu)ery and rich flavor that retains the disUncUve ayertaste of goat’s milk with a hint of bi)erness, also typical of goat cheese. Blu di Capra: This blue cheese looks similar to sharp gorgonzola but with a lighter colored rind; the paste is bright white with rich green veining. On the palate it is extremely creamy and melts in the mouth, leaving a sensaUon of freshness and rich aromas. Not overwhelmingly sharp, the flavor is milky and sweet. The goat’s milk lends a velvety ayertaste that blends perfectly with the complex flavor of this outstanding blue cheese. Crème Brulee Tahi_an Vanilla 14 Literal translaUon: burnt cream. It is a baked custard (cream, sugar, eggs, whole vanilla beans) with a caramel layer The history of the crème brulee is stuck in the shadows. The English, Spanish, and French have claimed to have created the first custard-based dessert. In terms of vanilla, three desUnaUons dominate the “vanilla industry” Madagascar, Mexico, TahiU.
