Basajo®

Basajo® – blue sheep’s milk cheese aged in white Passito wine, with Chilean grapes

🧀 Blue-veined sheep’s milk cheese with a creamy paste, aged in white Passito wine and embellished with Chilean grapes in the rind.

The name Basajo® was born just like this, from the exclamation of Antonio Carpenedo’s little granddaughter, Ernesto’s daughter. Sincere, blunt, pure, direct. Basajo® makes no compromises and offers an experience for palates attentive to the countless facets contained in this cheese, the child of the skilled hands, the intuitions of Ernesto and the strict judgement of Antonio. Perfectly combining the strength of sheep’s milk with the sweetness of white passito wine is the result of two generations of master craftsmen, able to give emotions to the palate and to the mind.

SIGHT: One glance is enough to be delighted. The whiteness of the paste contrasts perfectly with the rich green/blue veining. Embellished with Chilean grapes in the rind that add green and yellow notes of colour, it surprises with its lustre.

TOUCH: Pleasant to the touch, with a soft texture tending to creamy, it invites you to taste and to lick your fingers.

SMELL: A fantastic olfactory experience, a prelude to intense emotions. The scents of raw sheep’s milk skilfully balance the sweetness of the grape marc and white passito wine.

TASTE: Basajo® is exceptionally melt-in-the-mouth: it melts immediately on the palate, giving pleasant sensations of contrast between the strong flavour of sheep’s milk and the sugary aftertaste of the passito wine.

💡 How to enjoy it:
✔ On its own
✔ With Chilean grapes
✔ With delicate red onion sauces
✔ In velvety vegetable soups
✔ As a starter
