Description Occelli in Foglie di Castagno
Taste the award-winning Occelli in Foglie di Castagno from grandmaster Beppino Occelli. This characterful cheese, made from a carefully selected blend of cow's and sheep's milk, undergoes a unique ripening process of about a year and a half. The secret of the exceptional and distinctive taste lies in the wrapping of natural chestnut leaves. As a result, the cheese absorbs earthy tones and develops an intense, slightly sweet and aromatic flavor profile.

With its full, unforgettable flavor, this cheese is an absolute star on any snack board. Enjoy it with crusty artisan bread, or combine the cheese with a robust red wine, such as a Barolo or Barbaresco, to let the rich tones come into their own.
