The New, Delicious Healthy Italian Cheese Selection from Vorrei

Saffron Walden, United Kingdom, May 04, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Vorrei, the specialist online food retailer, has introduced a new Italian cheese selection to complement its growing range of carefully selected food and wine. Sourced from small family-run farms and dairies, the artisan cheeses do not contain any additives or preservatives and many are made with unpasteurised milk from free-grazing mountain cows, sheep and goats.

Vorrei’s Parmigiano Reggiano has been aged for 36 months. The mouth-watering cheese is produced in the picturesque Apennine Mountain region of Emilia Romagna near Parma. It’s perfect on it’s own, with a drizzle of authentic, aged Balsamic Vinegar from Modena and a glass of Vorrei’s organic Chianti.

Vorrei is also stocking the world’s first aged vegetarian Parmesan made using vegetable rennet (from thistles) and containing no lactose or preservatives. The cheese is the perfect addition to the company’s new summer picnic hamper.

Most of the cheeses in the Vorrei range carry Italy’s highest food accreditation, DOP - Denominazione di Origine Protetta and as with all of Vorrei’s products, they are not industrially produced in large quantities.

As well as the familiar, Vorrei sells more unusual Italian cheeses including Castelmagno, a semi-fat blue variety from the Piemonte region in the north of the country, and a goat's milk cheese from the Veneto covered in rose petals which confer their scent to the cheese.


Founded by husband and wife team Luca and Nicola Pagliaro, Vorrei aims to select only the best foods from Italy’s artisan producers to ensure memorable flavours and textures that are true to their regional heritage.

"We are always on the lookout for natural, healthy, tasty products, ethically produced by small farms which respect both animals and the environment. We know almost all of our producers personally and share their passion for simple, delicious Italian food," said Luca.

All cheeses in the Vorrei range:

• Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Aged 36 months. Produced in the Apennine mountains near Parma (Emilia Romagna region) at 1000m. One of the best Parmesan cheese producers in Italy. For the best taste Parmesan should be matured for at least 36 months.
