This Aromatic aged in walnut leaves by Corrado Benedetti has as a base a Cimbro and it is a genuine and healthy cheese, very fragrant and particularly aromatic.
After a maturation that must not exceed 60 days, the aging, lasting about two months, takes place in barrique, where the forms are arranged in layers, alternating with walnut leaves. The method has ancient origins: the rich tannin content of walnut leaves contributes to the preservation of the cheese while imparting its unmistakable aroma.
The origins of Cimbro date back to around the year 1300, and it takes its name from the people of the Cimbri, who at that time found shelter in Lessinia. Mostly shepherds and farmers, woodcutters, and simple sheep breeders: among the meadows and rocks of the mountain range, they found their promised land. With them begins the production of this cheese, which has remained in the Veronese tradition.

The Cimbro aged with walnut leaves (which we present on this page in a quarter shape of about 250g) is ideal for platters of typical cheeses to pair with mustard or acacia honey. It requires a slightly soft structured white wine or a structured red wine from dried grapes, such as a Ripasso.
It is a particularly flavorful cow's milk cheese with a particularly compact texture. Over time, the strong aromas of the walnut leaves in which it has been preserved reach a perfect balance in the heart of the Cimbro and pleasantly spread on the palate.
