Handmade in Lombardy to an ancient recipe that requires a slow ageing period that takes over a year, this is a grainy cheese similar in style to parmesan. Great passion and long experience combine to make Auricchio cheeses stand out, and the company's provolone stravecchio is no exception.

This superb spicy cheese makes a fantastic simple first course when served with bread and tomatoes. And it's equally tasty when melted, used in baked dishes, in sauces and on pizza.
