Firm and dense pasta filata, breaks cleanly into shards under the knife with a slightly waxy snap and a smooth, compact paste.
Big sharp Auricchio character, salty and piquant up front with a savory pull that carries through the whole bite.
Long peppery finish that holds on the back of the palate for a good 20-30 seconds, with a salty savory tail.
The fresh milk note has mostly cooked off with age, leaving just a faint buttery whisper underneath the sharpness.
Toasted hazelnut and a touch of browned butter through the middle, a hallmark of long-aged pasta filata.
A light savory umami pull, more earthy than mushroomy, sitting quietly behind the sharper notes.
The signature piccante bite lands on the back of the tongue, peppery and lingering without crossing into chili heat.
Natural rind
Natural rind, traditionally lard-rubbed or waxed in the classic gourd-shaped form, generally inedible and pulled away before serving.
Provolone stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.
Big sharp Italian reds with grippy tannins match the salty piquant pull of the aged paste, while the structure keeps the cheese from overwhelming.
Ripe fruit and a touch of sweet condiment soften the salt and pepper of the piccante paste, while balsamic doubles down on the savory side.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
“Four generations of pasta filata craft built on Gennaro Auricchio's original 1877 rennet formula — the southern-Italian Provolone recipe transplanted to the Po Valley's cow's milk.”
Pasta filata stretched curd worked with the family's proprietary kid-rennet blend, hand-tied into pear- or salami-shaped forms and aged 12+ months for the Piccante.
