\n\u2018Tis the season for hustling and bustling, the season for greeting and meeting, the season for eating and eating (cheese anyone?)\u2026and oh yes, the season for giving. Throughout time, food has been considered one of the most precious gifts a person can give (and receive). Great food is a special gift\u2026 and Carlino\u2019s has great food. We also have the food knowledge necessary to make your entertaining and gift giving a piece of cake\u2026and the cake as well! Included in this offering is also a world of cheeses capable of pleasing both the palate and the eye.
\nThe Italian love of cheese dates back to the Ancient times and the Italians are just as passionate about cheese today as they were during the Roman Empire. The Carlino family supports this passion by offering an incredible variety of world cheeses with an emphasis on all that is Italian.
\nOne of the many cheeses offered on the list above is Gran Pecorino Carlino. Gran Pecorino Carlino is a sheep\u2019s milk cheese that is aged in Abruzzo, Italy for the Carlino family. This medium-firm, yet light and flaky cheese goes through the same aging process as Reggiano Parmigiano. It is this maturation method, which takes place over two years, that preserves and accentuates the characteristic flavor and sweet undertones of the milk. Gran Pecorino Carlino will surprise you with its complex aroma and taste since both resound with lively notes of fresh milk\u2026rare in a two year old cheese. The medium-firm texture makes it perfect not only for cubing but also for shaving. Make cheese a part of your holiday festivities\u2026eat cheese for life!<\/p>\n
