This ricotta is the ultimate pride of our cheeses. It is a fresh, delectably rich and creamy cheese exhibiting a delicate flavor of soft sweet butter. It is made exclusively from the freshest, most superior, locally sourced farm milk. It is manufactured via a 100 year old artisan method that attends to the intricate parameters of creating a finely balanced texture and consistency. It is hand dipped and emulsified to a creamy, somewhat dense, smooth texture. Packaged in sealed 3 pound containers. Please Note: This product contains no stabilizers or gums; therefore, it will be more dense (cream cheese consistency) than the traditional ricotta sold by our competitors. Also, due to the removal of excess moisture and emulsification, this product will also be more dense than our Old-Fashioned ricotta in the metal tins. If you are looking for a more airy, more textured, and less dense ricotta, please purchase our Old-Fashioned ricotta in metal tins

Imported Italian Cheeses
Provolone, Aurrichio Imported (Random Weight 3/4 lb. Minimum)
$9.60
Auricchio Provolone - Sharp Imported from Italy An aged Italian Provolone that is particularly sharp. It is often regarded as one of the best-tasting provolones in the world. In Italian grocery stores, this cheese is often seen dangling by rope from the rafters, which makes it a very well known cheese throughout Italy. What is Provolone Cheese? Provolone Cheese, like mozzarella, is a pulled or stretched curd cheese with two varieties. Dolce (mild Provolone) is aged for just two to three months. It is a semi-soft, mild, smooth table cheese. Piccante is aged for six to twelve months and has a much stronger flavor. The term Provolone (meaning large provola) appeared around the end of the 19th century when it started to be manufactured in the southern regions of Italy. Modern Provolone has smooth skin and is produced mainly in the regions of Lombardia and Veneto. It is produced in different shapes. Some are like a very large sausage which may be up to 30 cm (1 ft) in diameter and 90 cm (3 ft) long, whilst others come in a truncated bottle shape or a large pear shape which has a characteristic round knob for hanging. How is Provolone Cheese made? Provolone cheese can be made with buffalo or cow's milk, or a mixture of the two. Once the curds and whey have been separated, the curd is kneaded and stretched while still hot. The cheese is bathed in brine before a wax or plastic rind is added to the outside. It is tied up with rope and hung in the aging cellar. How should I eat Provolone Cheese? This is a rather versatile cheese. It can be used in cooking, grated to sprinkle over salads, and even incorporated into desserts. It melts very well, so try it in grilled sandwiches, baked pasta dishes or casseroles. You can also enjoy it on pizza, either as a substitute for mozzarella or as a flavorful addition. Add it to savory pies or melt it on top of chicken for an easy but tasty midweek dinner. If you are serving Provolone as part of a cheeseboard, we highly recommend adding spicy, salty condiments to enjoy it with. Olives, roasted red peppers, chargrilled artichokes, and spicy chili jams or chutneys all work well with the mild flavor of the cheese and will work to give you a taste of Italy. For an unexpected dessert, served grilled or roasted pears with shredded provolone cheese and a sweet balsamic glaze. What should I drink with Provolone Cheese? A firm cheese like Provolone goes well with a dry rosé wine or a fruity red. Try a Sangiovese or a light Beaujolais. If you prefer white wine, Chardonnay would be a good choice as it will balance the mild saltiness of the cheese. For moments when a beer is more to your taste, a pale ale will go nicely with the cheese without overpowering it
Pecorino Romano - Locatelli or Ambriola (Whole or Freshly Grated)
Pecorino Romano (Italian pronunciation: [pekoˈriːno roˈmaːno]) is a hard, salty Italian cheese, often used for grating, made with sheep's milk. The name" pecorino" simply means" ovine" or" of sheep" in Italian; the name of the cheese, although protected, is a simple description rather than a brand:"[formaggio] pecorino romano" is simply" sheep's [cheese] of Rome" . Pecorino Romano is most often used on pasta dishes, like the better-known Parmigiano Reggiano. Its distinctive aromatic and pleasantly sharp, very salty flavor led to it being preferred for some Italian pasta dishes with highly flavoured sauces, especially those of Roman origin, such as bucatini all' amatriciana, spaghetti alla carbonara, and spaghetti cacio e pepe (of which it is a main ingredient). The sharpness depends on the period of maturation, which varies from five months for a table cheese to eight months or longer for a grating cheese. Most pecorino cheeses are classified as grana and are granular, hard and sharply flavored. Locatelli is a brand name of cheese and Pecorino Romano is a variety of cheese. Locatelli Pecorino Romano is considered to be one of the finest Pecorino Romano's available. It is unique in quality because it is hand-crafted from pure sheep's milk
