Back to the origins...of milk


La Casa dei Formaggi has joined efforts with Chapel Hill Creamery (the main supplier of milk) to experiment with new fresh cheeses.
This experience is providing a deeper understanding of the interaction between the cows diet, the milk, and the cheese. The team working there is amazing. More to come.

Mille Spezie


Wine Authorities is featuring a new cheese from la Casa dei Formaggi called Mille Spezie (thousand spices).

It is a creamy, buttery cheese with Jamaican Pepper (clove pepper) dispersed in it. The flavor is very aromatic and you can have a burst of flavor by retaing the spices in the cheese or you can remove them for a more gentle taste. It pairs well with pears cooked in red wine.
