Artisan Italian Hay Cheese (350g)

  shipped chilled

Discover the scent of the summer hayfields around Casalbore with Paglia e Fieno. As soon as this artisanal cow's milk cheese is cut, a subtle aroma of dried mountain herbs and flowers rises. During the maturation process, the cheese is literally embraced by layers of natural straw and fragrant hay from Casalbore. This age-old farming craft protects the cheese and gives the creamy filling a refined, floral, and spicy touch. 

  • True Craft from Casalbore: Made from fresh cow's milk from animals grazing in our own hilly surroundings of Casalbore.

  • Traditional Hay & Straw Maturation: Aged for months in local hay and straw for a rustic appearance and a recognisable spicy perfume.

  • Layered Flavour Profile: Creamy milk base with rich notes of butter, dried field herbs, and a nutty complexity.

  • Vacuum Packed: Optimally conditioned to preserve aroma, freshness, and rich flavours during transport.

Paglia e Fieno: The Pure Scent of the Countryside of Casalbore

In the idyllic hills of Casalbore, the tradition of natural cheese maturation continues unabated. After the young cow's milk cheese is carefully shaped by hand, it rests patiently between thick layers of dried hay and straw. This ancient maturation technique conserves the cheese naturally and permeates the rind with a soft, floral perfume that slowly makes its way to the heart of the cheese.

Where industrial cheeses often strive for a neutral profile, Paglia e Fieno lets pure nature speak. When the cheese reaches room temperature, a rich flavour structure unfolds: first the soft creaminess of fresh cow's milk, followed by warm notes of farmhouse butter, dried hay, and wild mountain herbs. An authentic piece of our own Casalbore on your plate.
