Occelli Cheese Refined In Barolo Wine 80g x 8

Item No. OCC04

Description

Occelli al Barolo represents a true culinary masterpiece that combines together two excellences of the Piemonte region: premium quality artisanal cheese and Barolo red wine. This hard cheese is aged for several months in Valcasotto cellars before being covered in Langhe wines pomace enriched with Barolo wine. The wine donates this cheese an unmistakable mild yet persistent flavour. Ideal as a meditation cheese, Occelli al Barolo pairs perfectly with full-bodied red wines typical of the Langhe area, like Barolo and Barbaresco.
Occelli al Barolo has been awarded with the gold medal at the prestigious World Cheese Awards 2015-2016 and it has been elected the best "drunk" cheese by Slow Food experts in 1999.

Located in the beautiful Langhe area (UNESCO heritage site) in Piemonte region, Beppino Occelli is an Italian dairy company specialised in the production of premium quality cheeses and butter. Occelli is an artisanal cheese-maker who combines tradition, heritage with creativity, to create premium quality cheese with unique flavours and aromas. Their cheeses are matured in Valcasotto on wooden boards from the valley and carved from different types of trees to donate Occelli cheeses distinctive and unique aromas.
