La Gola is a unique and luxurious buffalo milk blue cheese created by De’ Magi. This cheese undergoes a distinctive maturing process of about 120 days, after which it is transformed into a "capital sin" due to its irresistible allure. The cheese's rind is removed and then dipped in cherry, followed by the addition of candied cherries, grated tonka bean, cocoa nibs, and is finally covered with 70% dark chocolate.
With a dark brown exterior and a soft, moist, crumbly interior, La Gola offers complex aromas, including animal scents, porcini mushrooms, underbrush, and a touch of chocolate. Its flavor profile is a delicate balance of sweetness, saltiness, acidity, and mild bitterness, with a long-lasting finish.
This cheese is produced in limited quantities, and you must book in advance to secure it due to the extended aging process. It is an ideal dessert or meditation cheese, pairing beautifully with sweet dessert wines, rum, cognac, or aged cherry.
