Dolcelatte	Etorki
Dolcelatte means "sweet milk". This cheese is very soft and melts in the mouth like ice-cream. It was created by Galbani company famous for cheesemaking.	The sheep's milk in Etorki gives the cheese a distinctive burnt-caramel flavor, it has a bright yellow interior, rich texture and a nutty finish.


Fontina	Gruyère
Fontina is dense, smooth and slightly elastic. The straw-colored interior with its small round holes has a delicate nuttiness with a hint of mild honey.	Slightly grainy, this cheese has a wonderful complexity of flavors - at first fruity, later becomes more earthy and nutty.


Pecorino Dolce	Roquefort
Pecorino Dolce has a characteristic salty flavour with a fruity tang that becomes steadily more robust. It's fresher and younger than other Pecorinos.	This cheese has a distinct bouquet and a flavor that combines the sweet burnt-caramel taste of sheep's milk with the sharp, metallic tang of the blue mould.


Stilton	Taleggio
Historically referred to as "The King of Cheeses" Stilton is a blue-mould cheese with a rich and mellow flavor and a piquant aftertaste.	Buttery, delicate, semi-soft and subtlely sweet cheese from Italy made with cow's milk. It usually has a square shape and has a special taste and aroma.
