{"product_id":"vecchia-latteria","title":"Vecchia Latteria","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eVecchia Latteria comes from the province of Treviso in Veneto, in north-eastern Italy. The name translates roughly as “old dairy”, a nod to the \u003cem\u003elatteria\u003c\/em\u003e tradition of northern Italy, where dairies brought together local milk to make firm cheeses designed to mature well and develop character over time.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eMade from cow’s milk, the curd is cooked, pressed and brine-salted before the wheels are left to mature. Guffanti ages Vecchia Latteria for around 24 months, by which point the paste has become firm and straw-yellow, with only a scattering of small eyes and the dense, satisfying texture of a properly matured cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eTime brings real complexity. The flavour begins with sweet, rich milk before moving into toasted nuts, ripe fruit and deeper savoury notes, finishing with an aromatic warmth and a touch of spice. Guffanti’s own tasting notes reference red berries, chestnut honey and dark, unfiltered beer, which gives a good sense of the cheese’s combination of sweetness, fruit and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eEach wheel is selected by Luigi Guffanti 1876 on behalf of Paxton \u0026amp; Whitfield, drawing on generations of experience in choosing cheeses that reward long maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":56211191988609,"sku":"1803","price":13.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":56211192021377,"sku":"1803","price":26.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"750g","offer_id":56211192054145,"sku":"1803","price":39.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":56211192086913,"sku":"1803","price":53.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3327\/2130\/files\/Vecchia.png?v=1789572176","url":"https:\/\/paxtonandwhitfield.co.uk\/products\/vecchia-latteria","provider":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
