Das Leben ist hart: Ende Oktober war ich im Piemont. Barolo, Robiola, Nocciole… Aber was tut HeinzelCheese nicht alles für Euch, meine Käsefreunde! Einen wunderbar sonnigen Nachmittag sind wir sogar endlose Serpentinen im Hinterland hinauf- und hinabgekurvt, zum Ziegenhof Amaltea, wo Daniela und Giovanni zusammen mit 130 Ziegen Robiola di Roccaverano vom Feinsten erzeugen, inklusive einer in Asche und Pfeffer mehrere Monate gelagerten Version… » Weiterlesen…
