Box Fantasie in tavola

Bringing a different cheese back to life with a new spirit. This is how Lo Scoppolato was born, gradually becoming, with sacrifice and love, a sought-after product appreciated by food journalists, star chefs and above all by the many enthusiasts of good cheese. A dream that has become a wonderful reality! Because, let's remember, never abandon your dreams when you wake up in the morning. It is a sheepâs milk cheese with an excellent taste made unique by the special processing that the cheesemaker jealously guards. During the process, the product undergoes ageing with a particular humidity so as to achieve a product with the right maturation and to enhance its flavour. Lo Scoppolato is a tasting experience not only for those who love cheese but also for those who wish to discover an intense flavour. Scoppolato in fact derives from a popular story linked to a shepherd named Tristano, known as Pedona. It is said that Pedona, every time he met his master, would take off his hat, the traditional coppola (flat cap), as a sign of respect. From this simple, everyday gesture the name of a cheese was born. Like its history, it has roots in tradition, humility and the ancient knowledge of shepherding life. During ageing, the cheese is placed in environments with controlled humidity and wrapped in walnut leaves. A natural element that profoundly characterises its sensory profile. The walnut leaves protect the paste, regulate transpiration and release delicate plant aromas, contributing to a slow and harmonious evolution of the product. The result is a cheese with the right level of maturation, with a compact but soft paste, an intense aroma and a distinct flavour, enriched by rustic and slightly tannic notes typical of walnut. The Fantasie Box was created to let you savour our cheese together with our savoury biscuits made with Scoppolato Gran Crù, perfect for aperitifs, and our Cremosa â Cacio & Pepe â ready to use to season pasta. The Box contains: 1 Baciotto, 1 Cremosa di Scoppolato Cacio e Pepe, 1/4 of Scoppolato with walnut leaves    Â
