Hallo from Italy
« on: December 12, 2015, 01:16:52 PM »
Hi I'm a cheesemaker in a important organic farm (Cascina Orsine) in Italy. I make 10 cheeses approximately.
My English is not very good and I hope you will understand me well. Ask me clarification if what I write is not clear.
I would like to enlarge my horizons and find friends around the world.
One of my wishes would be to offer free advice in exchange for hospitality during my holidays period.
Or to offer free advice in exchange for skills-experience sharing (in my place of residence).

Welcome, Luca!

I am very interested in Taleggio right now. Do you have any experience with it?

Let's ferment something!
Bread, beer, wine, cheese...it's all good.

I hope you can attach some pictures of all your cheeses, and some descriptions. I have not heard of rotonda!

Unfortunately I have not direct experience with taleggio. I produce a similar cheese but is less creamy and acidic.
As soon as possible I will post some photos.
Rotonda is not a taditional cheese; it is only the name for our hard cheese!

Welcome. Brie is one of my favorite cheeses and is my ultimate goal.
