October Cheese Club: Iowa

Cheese ClubDelitia-Butter-ParmaDelitia Parmigiano Reggiano Butter Italy

We’re switching it up this month by featuring a—drum roll please—BUTTER!! Not just any butter, this sweet-smelling and gentle-flavored Reggiano Butter is made from the cream that remains after the production of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. The butter is of exceptional quality because the milk used—collected from Parma and Reggio Emilia family-owned farms in the area where Parmigiano Reggiano is produced—is strictly selected according to the extraordinary rules imposed on the production of the famous cheese. Enjoy on your next cheese and charcuterie board, on breads or other baked goods, over pasta or in sauces. WINE & CRAFT BEER PAIRINGS: Delitia Butter pairs well with Malvasia dei Colli di Parma or a white aromatic and slightly sparkling wine. For a beer, most will pair beautifully, but try a light Lager or Pilsner; or go for a Belgian Dubbel, its malty sweetness and fruity notes will enhance the flavor of the butter.

This 60-day aged Toma is crafted from raw Bruna Alpina cow’s milk and thistle flower, a rare pairing in the cheese world. Its name, which means “small mountain shepherd” in the Occitan dialect, honors Nonna Magno, the grandfather of producer Mario Fiandino. Following in his footsteps, the Bruna Alpina cows at the Fiandino farm are treated with exceptional care; they even listen to music at a specific frequency to soothe them and enhance milk production. The resulting creamy cheese boasts a subtle mushroom aroma and flavors of freshly cut grass and milk. It offers great value given its unique style and high quality. WINE & CRAFT BEER PAIRINGS: Try pairing it with a light-bodied red wine, like a Pinot Noir, which will highlight the cheese’s delicate flavors without overpowering them. A Saison would be an excellent beer choice, as its spicy and fruity characteristics can balance the cheese’s richness beautifully.
