This family brings together our pantry and finishing products. Grated cheese is made from harder, aged cheeses, dried and ground to the right consistency for topping and cooking. Mascarpone, unlike most cheeses on this site, isn't made with rennet at all — it's a triple-cream cheese made by gently heating fresh cream and adding an acid, which thickens it into a rich, spreadable texture. Butter and our specialty retail items round out the collection with traditional Italian pantry staples.
Grated cheese delivers a concentrated, savory, slightly nutty flavor in a fine, dry texture made for sprinkling. Mascarpone is silky, mild, and lightly sweet, with a thick, spoonable consistency similar to a soft cream cheese.
Grated cheese is the finishing touch — over pasta, soups, salads, or roasted vegetables. Mascarpone is the base for classic desserts like tiramisu, but is equally good stirred into risotto or spread on toast with fruit and honey.
Grated cheese pairs with whatever it's topping — it's a flavor amplifier more than a standalone item. Mascarpone loves espresso, dark chocolate, and ripe berries, and pairs beautifully with a glass of Moscato or Vin Santo.
A soft, rich Italian-style cheese made from milk and cream thickened with citric acid rather than rennet — thick, creamy paste texture, mild and pleasant flavor, meant for spooning into desserts and sauces rather than slicing.
Fresh mozzarella paired with cured meat and herbs in a small, bite-sized format — the most casual of the three, meant for snacking straight from the container rather than plating.
Cured meat rolled around a stick of mozzarella cheese, sized as an individual grab-and-eat piece rather than something sliced to serve.
Cured rolled inside a sheet of mozzarella cheese, sliced into a pinwheel and served cold. A slice-and-serve format built for a charcuterie board or antipasto spread.
Made from fresh cultured cream with salt added — same nutty, cultured base as the unsalted version, with a touch of salt (capped at 1%) rounding out the flavor.
Made from fresh cultured cream, with a nutty, cultured flavor and yellow color — straightforward, high-butterfat butter with no salt added.
Made from cow's milk aged four months or more, with a mellow, nutty flavor — milder and rounder than Romano, with a shorter aging period.
Made from sheep's milk aged six months or more, giving it a sharp, piquant bite — the boldest and most assertive of the grated cheeses.
A young, lightly salted fresh cheese — the name means "first salt," referring to its short time in brine. Firm enough to slice, mild and milky in flavor, meant to be eaten fresh rather than aged.
A fresh, mild cheese set and drained in basket molds, giving it a firmer bite than ricotta and the signature ridged pattern on its surface. Traditionally sliced and served with a drizzle of honey or olive oil. Traditionally used for Ham Pie.
