Talleggio washed rind cheese from Italy
This is Italy’s quintessential washed-rind cow’s milk cheese. Master affineur Luca Arnoldi learned from his father, Ambrogio, with whom we worked for many years. Their extended family, including cousins, sons, and daughters, has been making Taleggio for generations in the heart of Valtaleggio. A well-formed pink rind with characteristic molds protects the billowy, mildly funky paste.

Pont L'Eveque Washed-Rind Cheese from France

A soft, washed-rind cheese with a creamy texture and a more intense flavor than Camembert, known for its distinctive nutty taste and pungent aroma.

Pont-l'Évêque AOC cheese pairs well with light-bodied wines like Pinot Noir, Champagne, or Sauvignon Blanc, as well as robust reds like Bordeaux or Cahors. Other pairings include cider, dark beer, or Calvados.
