Red Casanova is a raw-milk washed-rind cow's milk cheese from Bio-Käserei Wohlgenannt, an all-organic micro cheesemaker in Germany. The recipe is essentially what the original Limburger would have been built on, back before the industrial version took over, and this is one of the stinkiest cheeses we stock.
The paste is semi-soft, pale ivory, and supple under the knife, ripening from a sticky orange brine-washed rind. The nose is serious, cellar and roasted onion territory, but the palate is much more mellow than the aroma promises. Meaty, oniony, with an asparagus-like vegetal pull and a quiet nutty finish that hangs on for a long time.
This is a young, fresh wheel just in the store and it does not stick around long. If you love the classic old-school stinky washed rinds, this is number one on the shelf right now.
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.
Hand-cut to order the day it ships.
