The passion behind the drunken cheese
The Ubriaco di Raboso is a cheese with a rich history and a wonderful story. In Italian, 'Ubriaco' literally means 'drunk'. This cheese owes its name to its special ripening process. The fresh cheeses are immersed in the must of the native Raboso grape. This is the remnant of grape skins, seeds and juice after the wine pressing. In the past, farmers in the Veneto region did this to hide their cheeses during times of scarcity or taxation, but they soon discovered that it gave the cheese an amazing taste!
By maturing in the grape must, the rind acquires a beautiful dark red to purple color and the cheese itself absorbs the delicious, fruity aromas of the wine. The structure of the cheese is firm yet nice and supple, and the taste is a perfect balance between the savory, creamy cow's milk and the sweet and sour, spicy notes of the Raboso wine. This cheese is an absolute eye-catcher on any cheese board. Naturally, pair it with a good glass of red wine for the ultimate culinary experience.
Freshly cut from the knife for an optimal taste experience

Immediately afterwards, the cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To preserve the delicate wine aromas and excellent quality during transport, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This ensures you bring absolute top quality into your home, which you can easily keep fresh in the refrigerator for weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions about Ubriaco di Raboso
Can I eat the rind of the Ubriaco cheese?
The rind is beautifully colored by the grape must, but has become quite firm and stiff due to the long ripening process. Although it basically consists of natural ingredients, we recommend cutting away the rind before consumption for the best mouthfeel.
Is this cheese suitable for pregnant women?
Yes, certainly! Despite the addition of a small amount of wine must, the cheese itself is made from pasteurized cow's milk. Therefore, this cheese can be safely eaten during pregnancy.
Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?
No, animal rennet is used in the traditional preparation of this cheese. As a result, the cheese is unfortunately not suitable for a strict vegetarian diet.
Do you also sell other Italian cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to the Ubriaco di Raboso, we have a wonderful range of tasty cheeses from Italy. View our complete category Italian Cheese to discover all our Mediterranean classics.
