Cello®

Italian Style

Cello® Copper Kettle

This one-of-a-kind cheese uses an exclusive recipe that’s cooked in copper vats, and aged for 16 months. This artisanal method of cooking and aging imparts an award-winning combination of fruity, cooked caramel flavors that offer unique notes of crushed apple and pineapple.

Cello® Asiago

Rustic, and lightly sweet with a nutty finish. What’s unique is that we do not add lipase. By staying true to the original Italian recipe, it’s much better to eat by itself. Aged 10 months.

Cello® Artisan Parmesan

Designed for the unique conditions of the Lake Country Dairy region using select cultures. Ideal for culinary applications, yet distinctive enough to enjoy on a cheese board. Bold, nutty flavors with notes of crushed apple. Aged 12 months.

Cello® Traditional Romano

Sharper, more piquant, but with a cleaner finish than typical U.S. varieties. A truer cow’s milk version (of the famous sheep’s milk Pecorino Romano) that delivers a classic Italian taste. Aged 6 months.

Cello® Italian Style Fontal

Delicately handcrafted, and carefully cured. Smooth, creamy texture with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It’s a wonderful table cheese, and melts perfectly. Aged 3 months.

Cello® Mascarpone

Made from fresh milk, and sweet cream. Rich flavor, and smooth consistency. Ideal for filling cannolis, or using in a classic tiramisu recipe.
