More About Italian Cheeses

The Italians are world-renowned for their great cuisine, particularly for incorporating their best Italian cheeses into their dishes. From the ever-popular and ever-present Parmigianino Regiano, there are so many ways that gourmet Italian cheeses enhance a dish. A risotto with Taleggio is divine, a plate of pasta with fresh Pecorino sublime. Mozzarella with tomato and basil on a Caprese salad is a must-have appetizer. Explore these favorites, and discover our selection of the best Italian cheese online.

Italy’s cheese scene is as diverse as its wine, each region proudly presenting its specialty. What sets a cheese from Italy apart is its distinctive flavor, achieved through time-honored techniques and exceptional ingredients. Every piece of this product has a story to tell, and you’ll hear it loud and clear with every bite.

Here’s a sneak peek at our Italian cheese list:

Pecorino Toscano Stagionato

Made with sheep’s milk, this hard Italian cheese hails from Tuscany. Aged to perfection, it boasts a nutty, earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with honey, jams, or a glass of white wine.

Fontal

Smooth, semi-soft, and oh-so-versatile, Fontal melts like a dream. Perfect for cheesy risottos, gooey paninis, or simply served with fresh fruit, its mild yet creamy taste is unforgettable.

Parmigiano Reggiano

Often referred to as the "King of Cheeses," this firm Italian cheese needs no introduction. Its crumbly, grainy texture and nutty, umami-packed flavor make it the ultimate topping for pasta, soups, or even salads—sound good? Pro tip: serve this fresh Italian cheese with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Heaven!

Sottocenere Al Tartufo

A true luxury, this semi-soft Italian cheese is infused with aromatic black truffles and covered in an ash rind. With every bite, you’ll savor the earthy richness that makes this cheese a gourmet favorite.

Each of these products can be enjoyed as-is or incorporated into your favorite recipes. A few shavings of Parmigiano can make a simple pasta dish tastier while melting Fontal will turn every evening into a masterpiece.

Pricing and Brands

Prices of Italian cheeses are as varied as their flavors. Aging, milk type, and the time of year—all play a role. A wedge of artisanal Parmigiano Reggiano will understandably cost more than a younger Fontal. Similarly, cheeses with rare ingredients, like Sottocenere Al Tartufo, are priced more for their luxurious taste.

Don’t forget to consider brands, too! Look for trusted names that prioritize traditional methods and high-quality ingredients. If you want to buy imported Italian cheeses, do a little research into brands. Fromage Marquis, Veneto, or Caseificio Montorso can deliver authentic cheese from Italy right to our plate.
