Erborinato Sancarlone caffè in crosta
Sancarlone Erborinato Caffè in Crosta is a variant of the Novara Blue cheese. It takes its name from the patron saint of the city of Arona, San Carlo Borromeo.
It is made from cow’s milk from the province of Novara, which undergoes a marbling process. The result is a blue cheese that harks back to the great tradition of Piedmontese blue cheeses.
After salting and a suitable period of draining, at Luigi Guffanti, the cheese is processed in coffee and left to mature for at least another 90 days after arriving in the cellars in Arona.
It has an intense and slightly spicy flavor, characteristic of blue cheeses, combined with the unmistakable aroma of coffee.
