A must - Edit
Went in thinking I would just buy one of the harder cheeses quite quickly, but ended up getting to taste all 12 cheeses, which were all excellent and impressive in the likeness of taste to the various Italian cheeses they are like. Absolutely recommend.

Fantastico - Edit
Wir sind gestern rein zufällig an diesen wundervollen Laden geraten. Beim betreten des Ladens wurden wir liebevoll empfangen und durften alle Käse Sorten probieren. Wir sind begeistert! Es schmeckt alles so gut & 100% ohne Tierleid!🥹 Wir haben gut eingekauft und anschließend noch ein sehr leckeres Tiramisù und eine Schoko-Mascarpone Creme vernascht. Bevor wir uns dann verabschiedet haben, haben wir beschlossen noch mehr von dem einzigartig leckeren Käse einzukaufen. Es war ein toller Besuch! Toller Laden und liebevolle Menschen! Wir können es von Herzen nur weiterempfehlen.🐮❤️

The best vegan mascarpone made by a wonderful woman - Edit
Finding this place was such a bliss. The owner is so nice. Her cheeses are all amazing. She made me try them all. I wish I had a fridge with me to buy them all and bring them back home. I got a spread with herbs and I tried a traditional dessert from the area with mascarpone in it, it was delicious!! The owner was volunteering at a mice sanctuary, with rescued mice from labs. She is just wonderful.

Wow wow wow - Edit
Incredible fresh and aged cheeses made from soy, fava, and almonds, as well as tiramisu made with their house-made mascarpone; also sells a variety of vegan cookies & preserves. The only thing keeping me from buying €100 of cheese on the spot is that I couldn't take it back to the States with me

Formaggi pazzeschi - Edit
Proprietaria simpaticissima e disponibile a spiegare i loro prodotti e farli assaggiare. Non mangiavo formaggi stagionati da sei anni e non ero sicura che avrei apprezzato più il sapore, mi sono ricreduta subito. Consistenza e sapore top!!

Ottimo formaggio e Negozio - Edit
I had the pleasure to visit this entirely vegan shop and I was thrilled by my experience. The friendly and welcoming shop owner offered me a free tasting of all the cheeses, one of the meats as well as providing free wine and water as a palette cleanser. All the cheeses were absolutely delicious and extremely memorable. I had the piadina with the Gorgonzola style cheese and prosciutto crudo style deli meat. It was very tasty and I will definitely be returning to this shop! Highly recommend

Formaggi veg da paura! - Edit
Enorme scelta di gustosissimi formaggi vegani! Barbara è stata gentilissima, ci ha fatto fare vari assaggi per scegliere quali prodotti comprare e ci ha dato in omaggio anche un pacco di bistecchine di soia disidratate. Inoltre vendono anche altri prodotti come conserve e Salvatonno (alternativa decisamente più digeribile del Vuna e che dal sapore più delicato). Un negozio davvero unico nel suo genere e sicuramente da provare!

Small business with a big heart - Edit
This is a small family-run business that makes delicious cheeses! You have to pre-order, which me and my partner didn't know when we passed by, but they invited us inside and let us try samples. Wow, so many different cheeses, and they were all REALLY good!! I liked the smokey mozzarella and the chili one best. The family is really lovely and kind, to say the least. We're so happy we ended up in this little town! Really recommend to anyone in the area to order from them, as a private person or as a business. They can send to other countries during winter, but the heat makes it difficult in summer.
Read morePros: tasty, good value, friendly
Cons: only pre-order
