This is a very limited bottling. During the Baroque era, Caltagirone became famous for the production of ceramic bricks, called majolica, decorated with floral and geometric motifs. The master potters of Caltagirone were very skilled in creating elaborate shapes and designs, using different decoration techniques. Caltagirone majolica tiles were highly appreciated for their beauty and durability, and were an important decorative element for all Sicilian houses, in fact they were used to decorate party halls, architraves and even the external facades of the buildings of the time.
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.
