Description
Bella Giulia Affinato Prugne & Prugnolo is an exceptional artisan cheese produced from the milk of the rare Vacca Rossa (Italian Red Cow) and traditionally matured with prunes and wild blackthorn berries (Prugnolo).
Handcrafted on the Pira family’s farm in Ischia di Castro, central Italy, this premium cheese begins with rich grass-fed Red Cow milk before undergoing a careful secondary maturation. During ageing, the natural fruit gradually infuses the cheese with elegant aromas, subtle sweetness and gentle woodland notes while preserving the creamy, buttery character that makes Vacca Rossa milk so highly prized.
The combination of sweet prunes and slightly tart blackthorn berries creates remarkable depth and complexity, resulting in a sophisticated farmhouse cheese with a smooth texture and long, refined finish.
Produced in limited quantities using traditional Italian farmhouse methods, Bella Giulia Affinato Prugne & Prugnolo is ideal for gourmet cheese boutiques, luxury hotels, department stores, fine dining restaurants and premium food retailers seeking authentic artisan cheeses with a unique regional story.
It pairs beautifully with Amarone, Barolo, Brunello di Montalcino, Port, aged whisky, roasted walnuts, artisan bread and seasonal fruit.
Semi-aged red cow cheese finished with prunes and sloe.
