Italian Cheese

As with so many things, the Roman empire was the first to experiment and push the art of cheese making to a new level. Developing cheese presses, experimenting with aging their cheeses in different environments, even building designated cheese kitchens to hone their craft. With a cheesemaking tradition as deeply rooted as this one, it’s no surprise that Italy produces some of the finest cheeses in the world! Italy is the force behind some of the most famous varieties of cheeses available, with each region specializing in different varieties. Parmigiano, Mozzarella, Pecorino, and Mascarpone are just a few of the delicious cheeses created and produced in Italy. Thanks to many consortiums (or quality control centers) focused on protecting the quality in the production of Italian cheeses, the caliber of these cheeses is of the very highest. Ingredients are sourced from local farms that also have an emphasis on safe, clean, sustainable, farming making these “protected” Italian cheeses some of the finest in the world.
