Product Description
Vento d'Estate is a "Barricato" cheese, meaning it is aged in a wooden barrel. In addition, it is buried under hay while in the barrel. The hay used comes from Monfenera, an historical mountain in Treviso, Italy and gives the cheese fragrance and character. Vento d'Estate is best known for its fragrance - a combination of barrel wood, lilac, pear and straw. Its flavor is rich and savoury and thus it is best served with a well balanced red wine.
