Product Details
Location
La Tur is crafted in the picturesque region of Alta Langa, located in the heart of Piedmont, Italy. Known for its rich cheesemaking heritage, this region produces some of the finest cheeses in the world. The combination of fertile pastures and the unique climate of this area provides the perfect conditions for the three different milks used in La Tur: cow’s, goat’s, and sheep’s milk. These milks come from local farms, where traditional methods are carefully maintained. As a result, La Tur represents the very best of Piedmont’s dairy craftsmanship.
Tasting
La Tur is a true indulgence, offering a luxurious experience with every bite. The texture is reminiscent of ice cream, smooth and velvety, yet rich and triple cream in consistency. The straw-colored exterior, adorned with a delicate bloomy rind, offers a glimpse into the indulgence that lies within. When you cut into it, the cheese reveals a creamy paste that coats the palate with an intensely rich and tangy flavour. The lactic notes are balanced with subtle herby undertones, making La Tur a flavourful yet delicate treat. Despite its rich creaminess, it has an intriguing lightness that makes it incredibly moreish, often compared to “cheesy ice cream” because of its smooth, mouth-coating texture and complex taste.
Pairing
Enhance your tasting experience by pairing La Tur with sparkling Asti or other sparkling drinks like Prosecco and crisp white wines. The effervescence of these beverages complements the cheese’s rich and creamy texture, creating a delightful contrast.
Recipe
Incorporate La Tur into a gourmet cheese platter or use it to elevate your favorite dishes. Its creamy texture and rich flavor make it a perfect addition to salads, pastas, or even as a decadent topping for freshly baked bread.
