History
This cheese is more than just from the mountains; it is the taste of the alpine meadow itself. "Caciotta" is the name for Italy's quintessential country cheeses—small, simple, and meant to be eaten fresh, representing the pastoral heart of Italian cheesemaking. Monti Trentini honors this tradition with a hyper-local approach. Using only cow's milk from a short supply chain in their native Trentino region, they craft a mild, milky Caciotta that serves as the perfect canvas. The young cheese is then hand-coated in a curated selection of dried mountain herbs, a blend that is a direct reflection of the surrounding Dolomite landscape. As the cheese ages briefly, the rind infuses the paste with a fresh, fragrant, and deeply pleasant aromatic character. For the Texas wine bar or caterer aiming to create effortlessly beautiful and approachable cheese boards, this Mountain Herbs Caciotta is a star. It's a visually stunning centerpiece that requires little accompaniment to impress. Its bright, herbal flavor profile makes it an ideal offering for a late-summer event in Houston, a garden party, or a spring-themed brunch, offering guests a direct and delicious taste of the Italian Alps.
