Barricato al Pepe
Barricato al Pepe cheese is produced by Sergio, the renowned maker of Sottocenere®. This pasteurized cow's milk cheese hails from Veneto, Italy. The term "Barricato" refers to the unique ageing process involving barrels. After 90-day ageing, the wheels are encrusted with black pepper and carefully stored in wine barrels for the final maturation phase. The addition of black peppercorns imparts a lively kick to the cheese without overshadowing its buttery texture. The traces of wine residue from the barrels contribute a subtle fruity note, resulting in a well-rounded and full flavour profile.
Barricato al Pepe pairs well with an off-dry Gewurtztraminer or Riesling or a brawny Zin.
