A Slice of Heaven:
Unveiling the Magic of Italian Cheese
Cheese. It's a simple word, yet it evokes a symphony of flavours, textures, and cultural heritage.
Here at Io e Te , we believe cheese is more than just a topping; it's an
experience waiting to be savoured.
Today, we embark on a delightful journey through the world of
Italian cheese, meeting some of the most beloved personalities gracing our tables.
Imagine a regal figure, adorned in a golden robe – PARMESAN, the undisputed king. Legend has
it that monks perfected his recipe, and his complex, nutty flavour and sharp bite reign supreme
over pasta and risotto.
FIORDILATTE, a young maiden with a basket overflowing with fresh flowers, embodies the
essence of fresh cheese. Her delightfully soft texture and mild sweetness are best savoured on
their own or with a drizzle of olive oil.The authentic italian pizzas are made using it.
PECORINO, a seasoned shepherd, hails from the Sardegna region with a history as rich as his sharp,
salty flavour. He adds a bold punch to pasta dishes and pairs beautifully with strong wines, a
testament to the rustic charm of Italian cuisine.
STRACCIATELLA, a playful dancer twirling ribbons of fresh mozzarella, lives up to her name. This
light and refreshing cheese is often enjoyed chilled on soups, salads, or as a delightful appetiser.
RICOTTA, a resourceful alchemist, transforms leftover whey into culinary treasure. Light and fluffy
with a delicate sweetness, it can be enjoyed on her own, fill creamy pasta dishes, or dance
inside airy cannoli.
This is just a glimpse into the vast and fascinating world of Italian cheese. At Io e Te,
we believe in celebrating these regional specialties, using them to craft authentic Italian dishes
overflowing with flavour and tradition. Join us on your own cheese odyssey, where every bite is an
adventure waiting to be explored.
Buon appetito!
