SHOWCASING the incredible quality and variety of Italian cheeses available in Scotland, family-run Eusebi Deli is planning a week of cheese tastings in its Glasgow restaurant, in partnership with London’s Italian Trade Agency.
From the 6th through 12th of November, customers will be able to stop by the restaurant to taste a variety of exceptional Italian cheeses for free, and learn more about each with information, tasting notes and recipes available for each cheese.
Knowledgeable Eusebi Deli staff will be on hand to help guests discover more about the cheeses themselves, alongside the geography, history, and culture of Italy that makes them so special.
Many of the Italian cheeses on offer have been given ‘\Protected Designation of Origin’ status, a geographical indicator used on food products to mark quality and regional authenticity, guaranteeing the strongest links between product and place.
The selection of cheeses available to taste will include popular favourites like Asiago, Gorgonzola, Mozzarella di Bufala, Burrata, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Pecorino Romano, alongside some that may be less familiar to the British consumer, like Grana Padano, Pecorino Toscano, Provolone Valpadana, and Taleggio.
Director of the Italian Trade Agency in London, Giovanni Sacchi, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be showcasing some fantastic Italian cheeses at Eusebi Deli. For this promotion we have worked with Assolatte, the premier association of Italian Cheesemongers.
“We will be displaying some of the finest PDO cheeses and many others as well, ones that you won’t always find in your UK supermarket. The aim of this promotion is to get people more familiar with a wider range of Italian cheeses, some of which may be new to the British consumer such as the Provolone Valpadana, Scamorza, L’Italico and Pecorino Toscano.
Giovanna Eusebi added: “Our team at Eusebi Deli are no strangers to fantastic Italian cheeses, and we’re over the moon that Glasgow has been chosen as one of the key cities in the UK to host this promotion. We’re looking forward to sharing our knowledge and love of Italian cheese with our local community and building the profile of these incredible dairy products that epitomise the quality and care put into Italian ingredients.”
