Description & Tasting Notes This unique and rustic raw milk cheese is named in honour of the cheese-maker’s great grandfather – ‘Lou Bergier’ translates to ‘the shepherd’ in the Occitan dialect. It has a unique texture, somewhere between a brie and a young tomme – soft and supple, almost dough like. It has full but balanced flavour with notes of notes of butter, cream, fresh pastures and a subtle earthy tang to finish. Thanks to the natural grey mould rind, the aroma is cellar-y, revealing fresh grass and hay upon cutting. A small artisan cheesery, Fattorie Fiandino are committed to sustainable farming practices and also use solar panels to generate around a third of their electricity requirements. Other Notes & Serving Suggestions Enjoy on a cheese platter served with chestnut honey, toasted hazelnuts and dried apricots. Choose an unflavoured cracker to avoid overwhelming the delicate flavours in the cheese. Pair with lighter bodied Italian wines such as Dolcetto d’Alba or Gavi.Region: Piedmont, Italy Milk: Unpasteurised Cow Rennet: Non-animal (Thistle) Size: Approx 2kg wheel, sold as a whole unit
