Gran Kinara
About this item
This vegetarian Grana-style cheese is one of very few long aged cheeses made with thistle rennet. The producer, Fiandino, pioneered this method of cheesemaking using thistle rennet with cow’s milk, a rare combination in the world of Italian cheese. Milk is collected from their herd of 250 Bruna Alpina cows and local dairies to produce this one-year aged raw milk cheese. They take great care of their Bruna Alpina cows, playing music at a special frequency in order to calm them and increase milk production. The crumbly, buttery texture of the cheese has floral aromas and a bit of tang from the vegetable rennet. Perfect to grate over pasta or to shave over vegetables. This one was made specially for us with the St. James logo stamped on the rind of the cheese.OUR LOCATIONS
