Italian Cheese Awards - Nominee

2022

La Zefferina is a refined and elegant blue cheese, crafted with raw cow's milk and infused with saffron to create its distinctive yellow hue and aromatic profile. After maturing for at least 90 days, the cheese is treated with the famous Grand Marnier liquor and enhanced with candied orange peel and pulp, creating a unique flavor combination.


With a soft and slightly moist texture, La Zefferina is easy to slice, and its taste offers a balance of dairy, fruity, and herbal notes. The cheese's flavor varies depending on the proximity to the rind, offering different experiences with each bite.


It’s best enjoyed as a dessert replacement, paired with a fine dessert wine, or savored slowly as a meditative treat after a meal.
