Alex Farm’s weekly featured cheese
The selection from our staff to provide you different cheese adventure every week
Nonna's Pantry showcases Beppino Occelli's cheeses, hailing from the Alpine region of Piedmonte, Italy.
'Testun', meaning 'stubborn' in Cuneo dialect, is a cheese that demands the most effort and time to mature among Mondovi's varieties, taking about twelve months. Produced from either sheep or goat's milk, occasionally blended with cow's milk, this cheese is imbued with the scents of alpine pastures, varying from thyme and chamomile to mint, licorice, or caramel, based on the grazing meadows and season.
Testun Al Barolo
A traditional hard cheese made from unpasteurized, grass-fed cow's milk. Crafted high in the alpine pastures, it's always made on-site, using raw milk from a single herb, milk that travels only a few yards from the milking parlor to the cheesemaking chalet. Often described as Gruyere with more intensity.
Enjoy it with white wibnes like Chasselas, Riesling
L'Etivaz AOP
Humboldt Fog
Humboldt Fog stands out as an iconic cheese crafted in the U.S. Made with care at the Cypress Grove Creamery in Northern California using local goat's milk, this cheese is known for its creamy, fudgy consistency and vibrant tang.
With a creamline that melts into sheer delight and an ultra-thin rind rich in mineral flavors, it's unmistakable with its signature ash vein. Internationally acclaimed, Humboldt Fog is celebrated for its layers of buttermilk and fresh cream, complemented by a bouquet of floral essences, hints of herbs, and a refreshingly clean citrus aftertaste.
