Description
Monte Diavolo is a cow's milk cheese formed into a flattened sphere and undergoes a gentle rind wash over 90 days. The ivory-coloured paste boasts a supple texture, interspersed with crushed native pepper berries that impart a distinctive savoury flavour, setting it apart from traditional cheeses. The initial sweetness gives way to a peppery, smoky, and herbal aftertaste, offering a complex and memorable tasting experience.
