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 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.
