Cheese type: Hard cheese ewe's milk and bovine milk
A hard cheese that is left to age for about a year and a half. The wheels are then wrapped in chestnut leaves which transform them and enrich them with a strong, exceptional flavour. It pairs well with great Langa wines but is ideal with important dark craft beer too.
To dive into the world of the cheese, to enjoy great moments in society or to give a nice surprise: a DEGUSTation is an ideal opportunity. Let yourselves be carried away in a wonderful world of pleasure by the fanciful created cheese specialities the affineur and cheese pope's Hansi Baumgartner. The arrangement of the DEGUSTation is new every time and it's a surprise. With attached info sheet the order of tasting the single specialities is exactly explained. The DEGUSTation for 8 persons contains at least 7 different cheese types with a total weight of approx. 2 kg. and the fitting chutney(s).
