CENTRAL

Central offers classic ’s milk from Sardinia. Our favorite is certainly Moliterno. The cheese is aged in straw baskets ("Incanestro" style), resulting in a lovely textured rind. During aging, the cheese is rubbed with oil, to ensure a moist and succulent paste. Full-flavored, rich and savory with a hint of sweetness, Moliterno is a royal addition to any cheese board.

Several years ago, a well-respected Sicilian cheese maker named Salvatore Passalaqua found an old recipe for a cheese that had not been made for over one hundred years. He set out to recreate this cheese using traditional methods and equipment. The resulting cheese was dubbed “Tuma Persa,” or “Lost Cheese”.

This rare, unique cheese is still made by only one cheese maker. It is extremely flavorful, but not salty. Since made from raw cow’s milk, it has an earthy taste with a sharp finish ! The rind is coated with crushed peppercorn, which further add to its complex flavor.
