The true king of cheeses is not just for grating over pasta. Freshly cut wheels like these are full of nuance and downright mesmerizing complexity.

We break down whole wheels almost daily for peak flavor and texture. Buttery, floral notes play alongside hints of grass and toasted nuts in a paste that is both pleasantly crunchy and dry while also feeling surprisingly creamy once broken down on the palate.
