Occelli con Frutta e Grappa di Moscato

Created by Beppino Occelli as a celebration of Italian flavours, this remarkable cheese begins with cow's and sheep's milk and is matured for a minimum of 12 months before being refined with dried fruit and aromatic Moscato Grappa.

The combination is as beautiful as it is unusual. Grapes, apricots, cranberries and figs bring pockets of natural sweetness and gentle acidity, while Moscato Grappa adds warmth and aromatic complexity to the mature, savoury cheese beneath.

Rich, fruity and wonderfully complex, it moves between sweet and savoury with every bite — an impressive after-dinner cheese and a spectacular addition to a special cheeseboard.
