COW'S BLUE CHEESE

Erborinato Vaccino is a blue cheese of great intensity, produced with raw cow's milk. Its cylindrical shape and light grey bloomy rind, enriched with moulds that vary from white to yellow, give it a unique appearance. The ivory paste, with well-distributed blue veining and blue-green veins, offers a creamy and slightly crumbly consistency. The complex and strong flavour, with an initial sweetness followed by a pleasant spiciness, makes it perfect for those looking for a cheese with a rich and unmistakable aromatic profile.

Recommended Pairings

• Honey: Linden Honey

The linden honey, with its fresh and slightly balsamic aftertaste, softens the spiciness of the blue cheese, adding a sweet and refreshing note that enhances the creaminess of the cheese.

• Pearls: White Dressing and Truffle Pearls

The white dressing and truffle pearls offer an elegant contrast, blending the earthy flavor of the truffle with the vivacity of the white dressing, enhancing the complexity of the blue cheese.

• Compote: Onion Compote and "Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI"

The caramelized sweetness of the onions with the balsamic acidity enriches the flavor of the cheese, creating a balance between sweetness and intensity that marries perfectly with the spicy note.

• Gelatin: Lambrusco di Modena DOP Gelatin

The fruity and lively profile of the Lambrusco jelly creates an interesting interaction with the sweetness and spiciness of the blue cheese, adding an elegant and acidic note.

• Cream: Cream with "Aceto Balsamico di Modena PGI" and Truffle

This cream, with its deep and aromatic profile, offers a refined accompaniment to the cheese, balancing the strong taste and creamy texture with the intense notes of the truffle.

• Purissima: Wild Blueberries

Wild blueberries, with their light acidity and sweetness, enrich the depth of the cheese, offering a delicate contrast that balances the spiciness.

• Traditional: Savòr Modenese

The sweet and spicy flavor of Savòr Modenese complements the aromatic complexity of the blue cheese, adding a rustic and traditional note to the intense flavor of the cheese.

Beer: It pairs well with a dark beer such as a Porter, whose body balances the spiciness of the cheese.

Wines: Perfect with a structured white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc, or with a sweet wine such as a Sauternes, which contrast the spiciness with sweet and fruity notes.

Bread: Ideal with rye bread or a simple focaccia, which enhance the creaminess and strong flavor without overpowering it.

Other Pairings: Excellent with dried fruit such as walnuts or hazelnuts, or paired with grilled vegetables for a harmonious contrast of flavors and textures.

Recommended Knife: We recommend a thin-bladed knife for blue cheeses, which allows for precise cutting and preserves the crumbly and creamy consistency.
