An extraordinary cheese produced by the famous award-winning Beppino Occelli dairy company. Occelli in chestnut leaves is made with milk from cows and sheep that freely graze in the local pastures in Piemonte region. After aging for a year and a half in the Valcasotto natural caves, the cheese is covered in chestnut leaves that donate this cheese a distinctive earthy and slightly nutty aroma. The paste is hard and compact, slightly crumby, yet creamy in the mouth. Occelli in chestnut leave pairs perfectly with the traditional full-bodied red wines from the Langhe area, like Barbaresco and Barolo, and dark craft beers. 

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.
