A true Finnish original made by Master Cheesemaker Peter Dörig.

Marmori, meaning ‘Marble’ in Finnish, gets its inspiration from the natural birch forests surrounding the creamery.

After trial and error, Peter found the perfect method for combining two sets of curds. The addition of charcoal to one batch of curds presents a cheesemaking challege as the ash works to buffer the acidification and can affect ripening down the road.

To help balance this ripening, Peter draws from his Swiss roots, using a culture blend familiar to Emmentaler. These microbes keep the acidity going and develop the sweet nutty flavors we expect, while the aging for a minimum of 4 months in cold temperatures mitigates eye formation and potentially spicy flavors.

The result: a dense and toothsome paste with beautiful marbling and flavors of raw hazelnut, cooked cream and pleasant lactic acidity finishing with a mild bitterness akin to dark chocolate.

Undeniably snackable, unmistakably Dörig.

Sensory Evaluation in action. A community pursuit and a pursuit of community. A dialogue of flavor bringing us deeper in connection to who we are and what we do. It is not about finding the problems but about understanding the way forward on the path of better cheese. To understand what the cheese is saying so that we can better serve the land and the life it supports.

Seen here is this pursuit. A question posed by a cheese past its prime and a dialogue between maker and monger that brings us closer together. Never perfect, but always better than before. The future is looking delicious.

Big ups to for being part of this conversation of flavor and being part of our community. Thank you for all you do in support of our cheesemakers, we couldn’t do it without you.

Flavor Feng Shui with Caciotta Paesenella from Formaggi Ciresa.

The pairing: omaKASE

wasabi peas x pickled ginger x scallion x sesame x fried onion x black garlic molasses

Why it works? The briny, umami flavors of the paste and the mushroomy rind find balance with the savory and spicy wasabi and fried onion. The added texture from the crunch adds a playful consistency to the paste, lengthening the flavor. The pickled ginger cuts the fat, keeping it light while the black garlic molasses tames the richness with a complex sweetness

The Cheese:

Caciotta Paesenella is perhaps one of the more well known cheeses in the Ciresa range in Italy, but this small format washed rind cows milk cheese is still a diamond in the rough in the US. Doughy and pudgy in all the right places, this cheese is like fresh sourdough dreaming of foraging for mushrooms in the woods.
