Which hard Italian cheese does the Zuivelhoeve?

At the Zuivelhoeve there has been a great demand for hard Italian cheese for years. For example, you can cut hard Italian cheese into cubes, but it is much more common to turn the cheese into 'flakes' with a grater. In the summary below we give you an overview of our hard Italian cheese favorites:

• Pecorino: Pecorino shows some similarities with Parmesan cheese, but this Italian cheese has a slightly different structure. The cheese owes this different structure to the fact that it is not made from cow's milk, but sheep's milk. The Pecorino is a delicious cheese for every connoisseur who likes sharper flavors. Pecorino flakes taste very good over a tortellini or ravioli.
• Parmigiano Reggiano: Just like Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano is a branch of Parmesan cheese, although our variant is a bit more 'heavy' in taste. The cheese comes from the region around Parma and that is where it owes its name. This cheese tastes extra good next to a glass of wine!
