Producer: Beppino Occelli, Piedmont
Region: Piedmont
Cheese type: Hard cheese ewe's milk and bovine milk
A hard cheese that is left to age for about a year and a half. The wheels are then wrapped in chestnut leaves which transform them and enrich them with a strong, exceptional flavour. It pairs well with great Langa wines but is ideal with important dark craft beer too.

This hand-scooped Camembert of cow's raw milk is improved with high-quality Pistazien Bronte which grow up in the north slopes of the Sicilian volcano Etna. The pistacios distinguish themselves by an unmistakeable, slightly resinous taste and are picked by hand - one after the other. It doesn't surprise that they count without doubt to the very best pistacios and are appreciated gourmets as gourmet-cooks.
Still today Casa Modena respects this tradition when producing rigorously a Dop product, or rather certificate in the respect of rigid rules foreseen by the law: only meats of national swines are used exclusively, checking the additives and each phase of the working.
