L'Antica Cascina - L'Ulivo misto giara ripened mixed milk cheese +-5.1kg
Ulivo is born from a slow ripening process where the cheeses rest in special containers wrapped in fragrant, freshly cut olive branches, turning into a product with a unique flavour. Its sweet and fruity taste is the result of the love for our territory that has driven the master cheesemakers to enhance the qualities of the precious olive trees that grow in Romagna. With its delicate aroma and light vegetable notes, this sheep's milk cheese with its slightly irregular shape is the perfect ally to make an impression on friends and relatives.
This Ceramic container contains 4 blocks of this unique ripened cheese.
