Picobello Cheese The Facts Country: ItalyMilk Type: pasteurized CowAge: 10-12 Months Tasting Notes: Part of the Gouda family yet after the first bite, you realize this isn’t your ordinary Gouda. Picobello Cheese is a Dutch cheese with an Italian twist. Sweet, caramel flavours of traditional aged Gouda and nutty, salty crystallization you would find in a good aged Reggiano. There is so much character in this cheese, it appeals to nearly all cheese lovers. Under the thick layer of wax, reveals a wonderful yellow/orange paste. Firm but not overly dry like 3 or 4 year old Goudas, it can be dug into with a butter knife. The complex, nutty flavour of roasted nuts and brown butter is a rich and savoury experience. Pair with a Pinot Noir.
