Description: This Cow-Goat milk cheese is from Piedmont, Italy made by Beppino Occelli Di Bruno Bros. site description: "A beautiful, semi-firm cheese from Piemonte coated in pressed Nebbiolo grapes, the grape used to make Barolo wine. testun al Barolo has a unique flavor that comes from the combination of the sharper flavor of the aged sheep's milk cheese beneath the pressed grapes and the bold, fruity sweetness of the grapes themselves. This is a complex cheese that pairs well with a full bodied Barolo wine." The fun part was those macerated wine grapes mashed into the rind. They taste great too.

Description: My cheese monger offered up this ancient looking cheese that apparently doesn't come along often. testun di Capra is a washed-rind goat's milk cheese hailing from the Piedmonte region of Italy. The name means "hard head" and it refers to its compact consistency. It is produced with goat and sometimes with sheep and cow's milk, from animals that are free to pasture all summer. So it is a great fall-time cheese.

Description: This beautiful "mountain cheese" comes from Piedmont, Italy and is made by Beppino Occelli supporter of the Slow Food Movement.

It is just a little messy, enough to leave evidence on your fingers that you just indulged in something you probably didn't deserve.
