Product description Our Cheese Selection contains some of our favourite Italian mountain cheeses along with a set of four tasty sauces to pair with them. It includes: Organic Pecorino Sardo DOP (250g) - semi-matured, excellent quality artisanal cheese made in the little town of Dolianove in the Province of Cagliari. Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Aged 24 months (150g) -Unpasteurised cow's milk has been produced entirely with organic farming methods. It has an intense, complex aroma with grassy hints and a delicate tasty flavour. Organic Taleggio DOP (200g) - Taleggio cheese has a long history, dating back to before the 10th century. The sale and exchange of Taleggio and other cheeses is documented in some 13th century historical documents. It originates and gets its name from Val Taleggio, just outside Bergamo,The people of Val Taleggio had a milk surplus and so needed to find a way to make use of it. They began making cheese which, once it had been aged in 'caves', or huts in the valley, could be exchanged for other products or even sold directly. Fontina (200g) -Fontina is a semi-soft alpine cheese from the Valle d'Aosta. The name Fontina seems to come from a pasture called Fontina where this cheese was made. Set of 4 Cheese Accompaniments (40g each) - Set of 4 Cheese Accompaniments (40g each) - These 4 delicious mini jams go perfectly with our artisanal cheeses. It includes: Fig jam (pair with Parmesan and Pecorino), Tropea onion jam (great with Taleggio Gorgonzola or Cheddar), chilli and pear jam (good with Pecorino and Parmesan). If we are out of stock of any item we reserve the right to substitute it with the most similar available item. Please note also that we cut each individual piece of cheese freshly, so occasionally individual pieces may weigh slightly under or slightly over the stated weight. Directions Keep refrigerated

Disappointed
we like Italian cuisine ,culture, we visit Italy almost every year , with this hamper we feel very disappointed with the quality of some of the cheeses we have received , some were quite good ,some you can purchase from any super market , not artisanal , we understand the coronavirus pandemic had a negative effect on the supply chains , very disruptive , hopefully next time we wont be disappointed and Italy and the rest of the world would go back to normal and have more peaceful world.

Unfortunately the cheese that was hand cut had gone off. Was able to save the vacuum packaged cheese but the rest had to be binned which was a pity. Could be due to the covid disruptions in post but very disappointed.

Good packaging and delivery, poor quality product
I received this hamper as one of two as a gift (cheese one and birthday for him one). The cheeses were all bio / organic. Most were pre-wrapped In vacuum packed packaging rather than being cut and wrapped by the deli. The cheese that was cut and wrapped as described on their website arrived dried out. One that was supplied was less than the weight advertised and not as mature. I contacted the supplier prior to writing this email and they did accept for some cheeses they were looking at pre-packed solutions as this does extend shelf life but did state that where they do make substitutions it is of equal or greater value, they also stated that they would update there description of the product. I accept that I received this hamper during Covid pandemic and appreciate that their supply chain is likely to be severely disrupted, but should be no excuse to continue to take full payment for products they clearly are having difficulty in supplying. The supplier did to their credit respond and send a gift of a bottle of wine, but considering the deficiencies and standard of product originally delivered across the two hampers was a small gesture. I am left with the bitter taste that a very well intended gift has been spoilt by this company’s integrity to deliver products to a standard that they describe. If you are looking for a well packaged hamper delivered on time this may appeal to you, if you want good tasting artisanal products you could be left extremely disappointed.
