It takes a (Northern Italian)Village

Greetings!
La Tur: From the Italian Piemontes comes this squat little barrel of melting delight (pictured above). Known as a "tre latte," or "three milk," because it is made with a combination of cow, sheep, and goat's milk it embodies a remarkable display of synergy with the best qualities of each brought to the palate. Rich, buttery and earthy, with a pronounced floral tang on the finish. Brunet: A dense, cakey, creamy puck of goat's milk cheese from Piemonte in northern Italy. The flavor is salty and tangy with a characteristic underlying lactic-acidity, which cuts the voluptuous, mouth-coating texture.
Olivade: This charming little goat's milk cheese from Provence has a layer of tapenade through the center, is rolled in herbs, then embellished with an olive- a real looker!
