BELGIOIOSO ITALIAN EXTRA SHARP PROVOLONE - Produced by using the same techniques as they do in Italy.

The plastic coating lets the cheese breathe, allowing more moisture to be released, which in turn creates a stronger rind and a drier cheese.

Grana Padano: from milk to cheese, selecting raw materials
One of the keys to Grana Padano’s distinctive organoleptic properties is the milk used to make it, which, in turn, is linked to the cattle fodder.
The Production Disciplinary issued by Consorzio per la Tutela del Formaggio Grana Padano permits a limited range of foodstuffs in that a broader selection would be unsuitable for the production of top quality milk.
Today, stable crops in some areas of Mantua are being farmed alongside rotational crops, including alfalfa, which is considered to be one of the best fodders available.
Over the years, summer and autumn cover crops have been added, and today maize is one of the most common crops grown for animal fodder across the Paduan Plain. In some cases, dairy cattle are only fed on unifeed, whose components must also comply with the Production Disciplinary issued by Consorzio per la Tutela del Formaggio Grana Padano.

A firm texture cheese of medium butterfat content, prepared over heat and requiring slow maturing, produced by coagulation with fermentation acids, from the milk of cows subjected to a regulated milking season, whose basic nourishment consists of heterogeneous fresh pasture grass. The yield of two successive milkings (evening and morning) is used after resting and partial skimming, without benefit of any artificial additives".
The curd is made with the aid of calves'rennet. The use of antifermentatives is not allowed. Within a few days the cheese is salted, a process which takes approximately 20 or 25 days. Maturing is natural and must continue for at least twelve months, but the maturation process lasts much longer.
The matured cheese is used plain or grated

Today the Pecorino Romano comes produced in the same, exclusive zones of origin and with the same, natural procedure of centuries ago. The only difference regarding the past consists in the fact that the operations of curdling, salatura and stagionatura happen in most modern cheese factories, technologically to the vanguard under the hygienic-sanitary profile, in order to guarantee to the consumers necessary requirement of salubrità of the product.

Pecorino is made by collecting the milk from the sheep, heating it to a temperature of between 35 and 38 C (70-76 F) and curdling it with rennet for about 20 minutes; the curds are then turned out into a trough, scooped into molds, and pressed to drive out the serum, which in turn becomes ricotta. The pressed, very fresh, soft cheeses are in some cases steamed (this helps drive out the serum), and in others not, but they are always salted or soaked in brine, with the forms getting 4-6 hours salting per pound. After they have been salted, they're aged in a cool dark place, for a minimum of 20 days if they are to be sold fresh, or for at least 4 months if they are to be sold aged, i.e. stagionato.

The Sini Family began making Cacio de Roma ® more than thirty years ago on a small dairy farm in in the countryside of Rome. Second generation master cheesemaker Uncle Domenico Sini uses same-day sheep's milk milk collected from local shepherds to produce Cacio de Roma ® in the same way as did his forefathers. Once the cheese obtains its form and some texture, it is bathed in sea salt for 24 hours and then aged on wood in cellars for thirty days. The end result is a creamy textured cheese with a mild, balanced flavor finishing with a touch of fruit. It is the essence of the classic Italian table cheese found universally in Central and Southern Italy. Not only is it enjoyed as a table cheese either before or after a meal, it is also used in everyday cooking as it melts very well. Some typical uses are as a filling for ravioli, in salads, on pizza or for simple things like grilled cheese sandwiches.

In Italian, Pepato means "with pepper". Whole black peppercorns are added to the curd during the cheesemaking process to create this delicately spiced table cheese. Made with part skim milk and aged over 5 months.

The typicality of Piave cheese results from a combination of factors. The most important one among them is –no doubt– milk origin. In fact, the supplier dairy farms have to be necessarily located within the geographical boundaries of the Province of Belluno.Origin of starter cultures (guaranteed by marking on the rind)Another factor that strongly contributes to the typicality of Piave cheese is the use of a specific bacterial culture grown in thermized milk and a specific bacterial culture grown in whey, both produced in-house. These cultures contain enzymes belonging to autochthonous varieties that are isolated and lyophilized from select starters acquired from qualified subsuppliers, and are essential to give Piave cheese its specific organoleptic properties.

This ricotta is a superior, fresh, soft, curdy cheese. We began selling our ricotta door to door, family to family, and our high standards have not changed throughout the years. It is always fresh, delectably rich and creamy, and made exclusively from fresh Vermont milk. Ricotta is an important ingredient in many Italian dishes such as lasagna, manicotti, and ravioli. It is also tasty topped with fresh summer fruits and all natural preservatives.

Ricotta Salata is one of Italy's most unusual and least understood sheep's milk cheeses. The milk curds and whey used to make this cheese are pressed and dried even before the cheese is aged, giving this pure white cheese a dense but slightly spongy texture and a salty, milky flavor -- like a dry Italian feta. Despite its name, this is not ricotta as Americans have come to know ricotta. In Italian, ricotta simply means ""recooked."" It is a cheese-making process rather than a specific cheese. This ricotta is also a salata, or ""salted,"" cheese. Sicily, because of its abundance of sheep, is justifiably famous for its sheep's milk cheeses. Use ricotta salata to dice into salads of all kinds--particularly pasta salads and spinach salads, or serve with fresh or grilled vegetables, beans, and fruit. Its firm texture makes it perfect for tossing. Also try ricotta salata crumbled over garlicky sauteed vegetables, tomato-based sauces and bean dishes."
