Moliterno
Great as a table or grating cheese, tasty, full and strong flavour, pleasantly spicy as a result of the use of lamb rennet. The interior has a dense texture with the occasional eye and ivory paste. The “Central” logo stamped on the rind is a distinctive feature of all the wheels, as is the pattern left by the cane baskets they are moulded in. Target market: Italy and worldwide.
Wines
it pairs well with aged red wines; a highly elegant and complex bouquet with a distinctive hint of sweet, ripe black fruit with balsamic notes of Mediterranean scrub, vanilla and spices, which may even be extremely complex in nature, such as liquorice, tobacco and citron; round and smooth on the palate with a good acidic component and dense, mellow tannic texture; must present an assertive, sweet and lingering finish.

- Cabernet-Sauvignon Santa Cruz Mountain(CaliforniaUSA)

Beers
it pairs well with highly fermented beers that have considerable aromatic complexity and a lovely balance between fruit esters and sweet notes of malt, with bursts of slightly roasted aromas; moderately bitter on the palate with an acidic character offset by sweet, sugary notes.
