Italian Cheese

Aged & Grating Italian Cheeses

Discover the depth of Italy’s aged cheeses, from Parmigiano Reggiano DOP to savory Pecorino Romano DOP and other regional specialties. Aging develops firmer textures and concentrated flavors, making these cheeses ideal for grating over pasta and risotto or serving in chunks on an antipasto board.

Parmigiano Reggiano brings a rich, nutty character to pasta, soups, and risotto, while sheep’s-milk Pecorino tends to have a sharper, more savory profile. Look for DOP-certified Italian cheeses, produced according to protected regional traditions and standards.

Pair aged cheeses with Italian cured meats, olives, or a few drops of aged balsamic for a simple Italian antipasto.

Fresh & Soft Italian Cheeses

For a creamy contrast, explore fresh and soft Italian cheeses such as burrata, mozzarella di bufala, robiola, and mascarpone. Their delicate flavors and smooth textures make them versatile for both savory dishes and desserts.

Serve burrata with tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and bread, or add mozzarella di bufala to salads, pizza, and antipasti. Robiola is delicious spread on crostini or paired with cured meats, while mascarpone is essential for classic Italian desserts such as Tiramisù.

Specialty & Blue Italian Cheeses

Discover distinctive Italian specialty cheeses, from creamy, bold gorgonzola and aromatic taleggio to truffle pecorino and smoked scamorza . Each brings a different flavor and texture to cheese boards, sandwiches, pasta dishes, and recipes.

Balance stronger cheeses with something sweet: pair Gorgonzola or aged Pecorino with selections from our Jams & Honey collection. For another classic pairing, drizzle aged cheese with Italian Balsamic Vinegar.
