Roccolino Mediterraneo Cheese
Rosemary & Olive Oil Aged Cheese – A Journey from Lombardy to the Mediterranean
Imagine starting in the lush pastures of Lombardy’s Po Valley and arriving on the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean. That is exactly the experience this extraordinary cheese delivers with every bite.
Crafted from premium cow’s milk, this small-format cheese features a dense, compact texture that is white and pleasantly crumbly. On the palate, it reveals a captivating contrast: the soft, delicate sweetness of fresh milk from the northern plains meets the bold, aromatic, and slightly pungent notes reminiscent of Mediterranean coastal herbs.
This unique character is created through a careful finishing process. Each wheel is gently treated with high-quality olive oil and then coated in dried rosemary leaves, allowing the flavors to infuse naturally. The result is a beautifully balanced cheese where two worlds — northern dairy tradition and Mediterranean intensity — come together in perfect harmony.
