Description
They refer to it as Vento d’Estate—”summer wind.” In all honesty, that name suits better than you would expect. This is more like a memory frozen in time than just another old cheese. Imagine the aroma of wild plants wafting across a sun-drenched highland valley; now picture someone somehow transforming that into taste.
Like premium wine, this cheese ages in oak barriques. Like wine, it absorbs every subtlety: the soft earthiness of the wood, the peppery tickle of black spice, the whisper of red grape skins. There’s a complexity here that feels natural; it merely emerges slowly, like a narrative without haste to its conclusion.
In terms of texture? Texturally, it walks that ideal line—rich, somewhat crumbly at the edges, but yet creamy where it matters. One mouthful and you start to lose track of your location. A field picnic? A barrel-lined cellar? Somewhere in the middle.
It’s not simply old; in the truest sense, it’s polished. And no, it’s not the sort of cheese you forget about in the rear of the fridge.
