PINETTA “the wife” – Sweet Goat’s Blue Cheese
Product code
Availability
Pinetta is Pino’s wife and this is her marbled goat milk cheese.
This truly unusual cheese is delicate and very tasty so that it appeals also to non goat cheese lovers.
We see her as a “Lady” with a delicate and well-balanced character. She is never aggressive but persistent and convincing.
The aromas and flavours reach their peak after a minimum ageing period of 90 days in a fresh, humid but naturally ventilated space.
In 2013, 2015 and 2023 he won the QUALITY AWARD at national dairy contest INFINITI BLU, dedicated to blue cheese that is held every year in Gorgonzola.
At the World Cheese Awards 2017-2018 in London it was awarded the Gold Medal.
At the Italian National Cheese Competition All’Ombra della Madonnina in 2018 it was awarded the Quality Award.
Pasteurized goat MILK, live milk enzymes, rennet, salt, penicillium glaucum. ALLERGENS: MILK and MILK protein
SHAPE: cylindrical with flat surfaces and slightly irregular straight sides, the edges are barely rounded.
EXTERNAL FEATURES: the rind is slightly wrinkled, of medium consistency, covered with a layer of mould and is a natural light grey colour with some darker spots; the holes in the two sides made to allow the entry of oxygen during ageing are visible.
INTERNAL FEATURES: the paste is soft and at times creamy, ivory white, changing to pale straw-yellow. It has greenish rather than bluish veins, not always evenly distributed.
ODOR: it releases the typical goat and barn scents combined with a smell of dried porcini mushrooms, woodland undergrowth and mould.
FLAVOUR: average saltiness and sweetness, barely pungent. High persistence.

A meditation cheese, suitable for antipasto, main courses, side dishes, or as a dessert cheese paired with sweet wine.
