Description Occelli al Barolo

Experience an absolute Italian masterpiece with the Occelli al Barolo. Grandmaster Beppino Occelli has created pure art with this cheese. The base of cow's and sheep's milk undergoes a months-long ripening process and is then lovingly soaked in marc (grape must) and refined with authentic Barolo DOCG. This gives the cheese its unmistakable rich, fruity and slightly intoxicating flavor profile that is praised worldwide.

An Award-Winning Masterpiece

Beppino Occelli is a symbol of absolute perfection in Italian cheese art. With this creation, the cheese layer absorbs the rich flavors of the Nebbiolo grape must (known from Barolo) for months. It is not without reason that this cheese was crowned the best 'Drunken cheese' in Italy in 1999 and won the prestigious Gold Medal in 2015 at the World Cheese Awards.

With its crumbly texture and intense, deep wine aromas, the Occelli al Barolo is the star on any cheese board. It is a fantastic conclusion to a luxurious dinner. To make the flavor explosion completely perfect, it is best combined with a superior red wine - and preferably a full-bodied Barolo or Barbaresco.

Product Information & Ingredients

Frequently asked questions

Is the rind of the cheese edible?

The cheese is covered with a rich layer of grape marc in which the cheese has matured. Although this is completely natural and provides the fantastic wine taste, many people leave the coarse outside because of the intense, sometimes somewhat hard structure. The inside of the cheese is where the real magic happens!

Ein Geheimtipp für Wein- und Käseliebhaber
Review by
Da dieser Käse im regulären Handel nahezu gar nicht erhältlich ist, waren wir sehr erfreut ihn hier zu entdecken.
Der Käse ist ist sehr angenehm im Geschmack und erhält durch den Barolo Trester einen einzigartigen Geschmack, die Weinaromen harmonieren hier sehr gut mit dem Käse.
Lieferung, Kühlung und Verpackung war tadellos.
