🧀 Hard cheese aged in barrique with black pepper.
Antonio Carpenedo is fascinated by spices, their aromas and their origins. This small seed contained in a red berry is native to southern India and grown in tropical areas.
The fresh cheese is properly aged and, at the perfect moment, sealed in oak barrels with a jealously guarded blend of pepper. The barrels filled in this way follow a precise rotation schedule to allow a perfect transformation and transfer of flavours.
SIGHT: Cylindrical in shape, slightly irregular, the rind is dark in colour and rough in appearance owing to the massive presence of chopped pepper. The paste is straw-yellow in colour and slightly eyed.
TOUCH: Very distinctive to the touch on the rind, because of the chopped pepper. The paste is semi-hard and compact in consistency. Excellent for shaving into flakes.
SMELL: The unmistakable aroma of pepper evokes the distant bazaars of India, with a mix of scents of wood, flowers and a very faint lemon. In the paste, everything is wrapped in the intense scent of warm milk and butter.
TASTE: A gentle explosion of pepper. Piperine, the substance that gives pepper its spicy flavour, is pleasantly balanced by the properties of the cheese, with notes of milk and butter.
💡 How to enjoy it:
✔ In refined cuisine
✔ On its own, with a full-bodied barrique-aged red wine
