Italian Cheese Platter with Mini Jams Inc. Parmigiano Reggiano, Gorgonzola, Fig Jam & More

Our Cheese Platter Hamper contains a selection of our favourite Italian mountain cheeses along with a set of four tasty sauces to pair with them:

Organic Pecorino Sardo DOP 200g Our organic Pecorino is a semi-matured, excellent quality artisanal cheese made in the little town of Dolianove in the Province of Cagliari. Pecorino is one of Italy's oldest cheeses and features heavily in Italian cuisine! Pecorino Sardo is made with raw sheep's milk (giving it an authentic rural taste) and aged in ancient vaults.

Organic Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Aged 18 months 150g Artisanally produced at 1000m in the Appenine Mountains, this wonderful, aged Parmesan is made from raw cow's milk as all DOP Parmesan should be.

Fontina DOP 200g Fontina is a semi-soft alpine cheese from the Valle d'Aosta. The name Fontina seems to come from a pasture called Fontin where this cheese was made. Other sources link it to the village of Fontinaz. The name could also come from the old French term "fontis" or "fondis" which used to indicate the special ability of this cheese to melt when heated. Fontina cheese has a DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) status, a milky aroma - 100 litres of milk are needed to make one Fontina, a creamy texture and a sweet flavour which intensifies with ageing. Its colour varies from ivory to an intense hay yellow colour. It is aged for an average of 80 days.

Organic Taleggio DOP 200g This is a sweet, slightly sour soft cow's milk cheese. It has a characteristic aroma sometimes with a hint of truffle.

Gorgonzola Dolce DOP Gran Riserva 200gCreamier than Stilton, but just as strong, this Organic Gorgonzola has an aromatic and intense flavour.

Set of 4 Cheese Accompaniments (40g each) These 4 delicious mini jams go perfectly with our artisanal cheeses. It includes: Fig jam (pair with Parmesan and Pecorino), Tropea onion jam (great with Taleggio, Gorgonzola or Cheddar), chilli pepper jam (try with Pecorino) and chilli and pear jam (good with Asiago, Pecorino and Parmesan).

This delicious selection of cheeses and accompaniments is presented in our bamboo tray (the cheeses are packed in a chilled box first) which is wrapped in cellophane and tied with a colourful ribbon.
