This hard cow’s milk cheese was inspired by an ancient technique used on the Venetian ships to protect cheeses from moisture and salt when travelling across the Mediterranean. It takes its name from the local province of San Pietro di Feletto.
Latteria Perenzin is located near the town of Conegliano in the Veneto region of Italy, sourcing milk from the green pastures of the Altopiano del Cansiglio (north Veneto) and Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. This 100% cow’s milk cheese is wrapped in a crust of natural beeswax and left to mature for at least 12 months; the refinement maintains the humidity inside the paste, distributing the moisture evenly and giving the cheese a silky texture and a persistent flavor on the palate with its aromas of honey, vanilla and toasted notes.
