This is part of our Carluccio's Christmas Range Collection.

Per i Formaggi simply means “for cheese” - and these are exactly for that purpose!

This trio is a celebration of one of Italy’s simplest pleasures: exceptional cheese served with beautifully balanced preserves.

Made in the orchards surrounding Alba, in the heart of Piemonte, each condiment has been chosen to complement a different style of cheese, combining the natural sweetness of fruit and vegetables with gentle acidity, warmth and spice.

Condiments to complement a variety of cheeses. 

Pesche alla Mostarda

Sweet, succulent peaches with the gentle warmth of traditional mostarda. Particularly good with blue cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano and mature Cheddar.

Confettura di Fichi

Rich, velvety figs with a naturally honeyed sweetness, beautifully suited to creamy cheeses such as goat’s cheese, Brie and Camembert, as well as mature hard cheeses and charcuterie.

Conserva di Pomodori Verdi

A delicately sweet green tomato conserve with a fresh, tangy finish, bringing brightness and balance to both fresh and aged cheeses.

Serve the three together as part of a generous Christmas cheeseboard and let everyone discover their own favourite pairing.

Piemonte

Piemonte (or Piedmont) is the second largest region of Italy, found in the north west of the country. Its largest city and the original capital of Italy is Turin, the bustling business and culture hub of northern Italy. Turin is filled with a mixture of 16th and 18th century renaissance, baroque and neo classical architecture. More up-to-date, it is also home to Juventus FC, one of Italy’s best football teams.

Moving away from the cities, Piedmont is known for its connection to the Alps. Almost half of the region is covered by mountains, making it one of Italy’s top skiing destinations. The geography of the region generates great agricultural farm land and it is best known for its grapes and wine production. Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape, and the sparkling Asti Spumante comes from the Moscato grape.

Besides wine, the region also produces a vast amount of Italian risotto rice. Arborio, Carnaroli and 11 other varieties of rice are grown in paddy fields, irrigated by river water.
