Description & Tasting Notes A unique and full flavoured cheese from the lush Tyrol alpine region in north-eastern Italy, named after the impressive peak in the Valle Aurina. Encased in a dry, black rind Sasso Nero has a firm and slightly crystalline texture which delightfully melts in the mouth. During maturation it develops a bold flavour of aromatic spices and roasted chestnuts with hints of dried fruits, honey and caramel – this cheese has a complex and distinct character!Other Notes & Serving Suggestions Serve on a platter with honey and fruit jam, or enjoy with the “Marende” (the traditional South Tyrolean afternoon snack with cured ham and bread). It can also be used in regional recipes such as in cheese dumplings or in risotto. Pair with Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Lagrein or Pinot Noir.Region: Italian Dolomite Alps –  Trentino-Alto Adige / South Tyrol Milk: Pasteurised Cow Rennet: Animal Size: 9kg wheel, sold as cuts
