This organic wheel of "drunken" cheese is drenched in wine and buried in Cabernet and Merlot marc, giving it a unique flavour. The process is steeped in tradition, dating back to when cheeses had to be hidden from looting soldiers and pilfering tax collectors.
Key Features:
- Flavour Profile: A harmonious balance of sweet and savoury, with delicate milky notes enriched by the subtle bitterness of cocoa. The result is a velvety flavour that surprises and delights in equal measure.
- Texture: Smooth and creamy with a melt-in-your-mouth consistency, making it ideal for spreading or enjoying in thin slices.
- Distinctive Appearance: Marbled with rich swirls of cocoa, Ciock Cheese is as visually striking as it is flavorful, making it a stunning centrepiece for any cheeseboard.
- Versatile Pairing: Best enjoyed with fresh fruits, nuts, and crusty bread, Ciock also pairs beautifully with dessert wines, sweet liqueurs, or a rich espresso
Please note all cheeses are hand-cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can
This is a hand-made, artisan cheese, which may contain naturally occurring blue veins. These are normal and intrinsic to the nature of this type of cheese and add to its character. We think they taste good too!
