If you love Italian food, this episode is a delicious guide to Italy’s must-try cheeses and the stories behind them.
From the rich, aged complexity of Parmigiano Reggiano to creamy fresh treasures and regional specialties you might not yet know, host Katy Clarke and guest Olivia Windsor take you on a flavorful journey across the country that celebrates the diversity of Italian cheese-making traditions.
You’ll learn what makes each cheese unique – whether it’s the snowy crystals in Alpine varieties, the tangy freshness of Southern-ripened cheeses, or the smoky, intense notes of rare local favorites. We also talk about the places where these cheeses truly shine, how they’re traditionally enjoyed at the table, and which pairings – from local wines to seasonal produce – elevate each taste experience.
Perfect for food lovers, cheese enthusiasts, and anyone planning their next trip to Italy, this episode offers both mouthwatering inspiration and practical tips on where to seek out authentic, artisanal cheese experiences across Italian regions. Whether you’re savoring a wheel in a market stall or tasting cheese alongside local producers, these eight cheeses are essential stops on any culinary itinerary.
