Which Italian cheese should I choose?

Taleggio is a useful choice if you enjoy soft, washed-rind cheese with a noticeable aroma and a gentler flavour than its scent suggests. Gorgonzola Piccante offers a firmer, more assertive blue-cheese style. Pecorino Dolce is the milder of the two Pecorinos in the range, while Pecorino Romano PDO is firmer and more savoury. Cravanzina brings a soft mixed-milk option with a bloomy rind.

Italian cheese for boards and cooking

For a varied Italian cheese board, combine contrasting textures rather than choosing several similar pieces. Taleggio and Cravanzina cover softer styles, Gorgonzola Piccante adds blue-cheese character, and a Pecorino provides a firmer finish. For cooking, open the individual product page first for flavour and use suggestions, as Pecorino Dolce and Pecorino Romano serve different purposes.

Italian cheese FAQs

What Italian cheeses are available?

The live range currently includes Cravanzina, Gorgonzola Piccante, Pecorino Dolce, Pecorino Romano PDO and Taleggio. Availability can change, so the product grid above is the current source.

What is the difference between Pecorino Dolce and Pecorino Romano?

Both are sheep’s milk cheeses, but they offer different styles. Pecorino Dolce is younger and milder, while Pecorino Romano PDO is firmer, more savoury and better suited to someone looking for a more pronounced flavour.

Are all Italian cheeses vegetarian or suitable during pregnancy?

No single answer applies to every Italian cheese. Milk treatment, rennet and production method vary by product. Check the dietary information on the individual listing and seek appropriate professional advice if you have a medical or pregnancy-related concern.

How should I store Italian cheese?

Keep it chilled and follow the packaging, use-by date and product-specific instructions supplied with your order. Storage life varies significantly between soft, blue and aged cheeses, so avoid using one timeframe for the entire category.
