Interesting Gorgonzola

July 28, 2008 Italian food No Comments

UPDATE 2

I have spoken to Lorenzo of La Via lattea, the award winning slow food company behind this this delightful cheese, and a whole host of other interesting cheese products as well, as I have discovered. Full contact details have now been added to my original The Gorgonzola of the Gods post, and they do speak English too. The company can export pretty well anywhere, if requested. However remember that La Via lattea’s products are natural, and will suffer if travel times are excessive.

Go on, phone them and make an order, your taste buds deserve it, and goats cheese is healthier than cows milk cheese too, if you need an excuse.

The company has agreed to send me some photos of their products, and I shall write a Friday food post about this interesting company soon.

Thanks for reading! And, hopefully, tasting – this Lo Sciur (Sciur – pronounced like ‘sure’ – means Sir in Bergamo dialect) really was one of the best cheeses I had ever tasted, and it looks very presentable too. – Alex Roe – cheese hunter.

UPDATE

A while back I wrote a post about a lovely cheese I had tried, and thanks to good old StumbleUpon and a stumbler, this post about some particularly delicious cheese seems to be getting lots of views.

Just in case someone may want to try and order some of the exquisite Gorgonzola made by the company mentioned in the post, I’ve added some more contact details, including a phone/fax number to my original post.

I’ve tried contacting the company concerned, but they appear to be at lunch. Later on I’ll give them another ring, and try to establish if anyone there speaks English, in which case, if I obtain permission, I’ll add the contact name to the post.

If you still have problems getting in touch, please let me know, and I’ll see what I can do. At a pinch, I could take orders for them – I’ll mention this when I manage to speak to the company, and see how they react.

    Hi Judith,

    I now know of a few outlets in Milan, and will publish them shortly. As for outlets in Umbria, I don’t know – yet.

    I’ll give them a ring and ask. Thanks for asking.

    Alex

Francesco Cossiga Understood Italy

18 Aug 2010

For those who did not know, Francesco Cossiga, who died the other day, was an Italian politician and one time President of Italy. Cossiga hailed from Sardinia, was a fan of John Le Carre and had earned himself the nickname “the pickaxe” owing to his no holds barred criticism of other Italian politicians.

Berlusconi v Fini – Slinging Old Mud

12 Aug 2010

As you may be aware, the generally tumultus world of Italian politics is in turmoil. The Berlusconi government is teetering on the brink of collapse, but what is really surprising, is that this collapse was sparked from the inside.

Berlusconi Divorces Fini

30 Jul 2010

Kotipizza Berlusconi

From spat to full-blown split. Silvio Berlusconi’s marriage of political convenience to Gianfranco Fini has ended in tears. Scorned lover Berlusconi even rejected Fini’s last minute attempts to kiss and make up and remain part of Berlusconi’s party of love. End of love in. Period.

Pinzimonio, Vegetables and Olive Oil from Tuscany

Elsewhere on BlogfromItaly.com, I’ve asserted that slow food can be quicker to prepare than so-called fast food. Pinzimonio, and Italian starter is one prime example. Something similar accompanied by ‘dips’ often appears at barbecues and dinner parties, but it’s something which can be served every day.

Spicy Terre d’Italia Toma Piemontese Cheese

The other day my other half turned up with an unusual cheese product, a jar of Terre d’Italia Toma Piedmontese cheese in spicy oil. This slightly spicy Toma cheese was very good, so I bought another jar the other day. Really though, I don’t think it would be that difficult to have a go at making this yourself.

Cat’s Milk Mozzarella

In the southern Italian village of Rosaneto in the Basilicata region of Italy, they have cats, lots of them. Indeed, there are so many of these felines that the residents of Rosaneto didn’t know what to do with them. Until, that was, enterprising local entrepreneur, Franco Latitante, had a bright idea. Why not use cat’s milk to make mozzarella?

For services rendered my other half received a rather special Christmas hamper this year. The hamper was crammed full of all sorts of Italian food goodies. One such goody was was something called Crutin.

Bad Wine in Tuscany

There is a scandal rustling the vines which line the charming vineyards of Tuscany -and what is a mere breeze at present may become a storm once more people discover that around 10 million litres of Tusucan wine have been adulterated.
