Smelly Cheese Co
Cremoso al Pistacchio
It has taken years of work for master cheesemaker Vincent Christophe to develop this cheese.
Spoon Gorgonzola DOP with 2 months maturation. A marvellous creation, developed in collaboration with our master cheesemaker and the Moro cheese dairy in Oderzo, combining a Gorgonzola Cucchiaio DOP with real Sicilian green pistachios.
These pistachios grow in Sicily at the foot of the Mount Etna volcano, on a rich land continuously fertilised by volcanic ash. As a result, Sicilian pistachios have an inimitable flavour, a very strong taste, and an intense green colour. Creating this product required many tests and discussions, and many tastings with customers. In the end, we chose to use both pistachio nuts and pistachio cream (5% Sicilian pistachios).
We have here a surprising and exceptional cheese, almost a dessert, a sweet and slightly salty blend, hard to describe in words.
