Antonio Carpenedo is fascinated by spices, their aromas and their origins. This small seed contained in a red berry is native to southern India and grown in tropical areas.

The fresh cheese is properly seasoned and at the perfect moment it is sealed in oak barrels with a mix of pepper that remains jealously guarded. The barrels thus filled follow a precise rotation program to allow a perfect transformation and transfer of flavors.

VIEW: Cylindrical in shape, slightly irregular, the rind is dark in color and rough in appearance given by the massive presence of chopped pepper. In the paste it has a straw yellow color and slightly eyes.

TOUCH: Very particular to the touch in the crust due to the presence of chopped pepper. The paste is semi-hard and has a compact consistency. Excellent flake predisposition.

SMELL: The unmistakable aroma of pepper evokes the distant bazaars of India with a mix of scents of wood, flowers and a very light lemon. In paste all wrapped in the intense aroma of hot milk and butter.

WANT: In a gentle explosion of pepper. Piperine, a substance that gives pepper the spicy flavor, pleasantly balanced by the properties of the cheese with the notes of milk and butter. Splendid element for a refined and pure cuisine with a barrique red wine, of good structure or young with a strong character.
