Are you a fan of cheese and charcuterie boards? If yes, then you must try our Marcelli Pecorino Trio! While charcuterie boards are a popular choice for parties and gatherings, our Pecorino Trio offers a unique and delicious alternative. In this article, we will give you three reasons why our Marcelli Pecorino Trio at Bar Enza is a better option than a charcuterie board!

The History and Culture of Cheese

Cheese has existed for thousands of years and is integral to many cultures. The process of making cheese has changed over time and has led to many different types of cheese. Cheddar, brie, mozzarella, and feta are some popular types of cheese. The process of making cheese usually involves curdling milk and separating the solids from the liquids, which are then pressed and aged. Different regions use different techniques and ingredients to create their own unique flavors and textures. At Bar Enza, we offer various imported Italian cheeses to taste alone or accompanied by our domestic cured meat and marinated vegetables.

The Advantages of Marcelli Pecorino Trio Over a Charcuterie Board

The Marcelli Pecorino Trio comprises three kinds of cheese produced with pasteurized and raw sheep's milk. This Italian trio is a staple piece to any cheese board at Bar Enza!

Imported Italian Cheese

In addition to the Marcelli Pecorino Trio, Bar Enza also features two more imported Italian cheeses to add to your custom board. Robioloina di Bufala is a new variation of the classic Robiola, created using buffalo milk. This soft and sweet cheese pairs nicely with Italian crackers and fruity wine. Lastly, Whipped Gorgonzola is created with cow's milk and boasts milder flavors than other blue cheeses. What sets this cheese apart is its deep roots in Italian artisanship. Whether you try one imported Italian cheese or all three, reserve your table at Bar Enza today!

Domestic Cured Meat

Adding domestic cured meat to your cheese board can enhance the overall flavor experience by providing a salty and savory contrast to the cheese's creaminess. The combination of the two can create a perfect balance of flavors that complement each other. Additionally, cured meat has a longer shelf life than fresh meat, making it a practical and delicious addition to a cheese board. At Bar Enza, we offer a variety of domestic cured meats, including Caesare's Red Wattle Prosciutto 24 M, N'duja Toast, and Wagyu Red Wine Beef Salami, to pair with our imported Italian cheeses.

Marinated Vegetables

Marinated vegetables add a refreshing and healthy element to a cheese and meat board. They also provide a variety of textures and flavors that can complement the other components on the board. The acidity and tanginess of marinated vegetables can balance the richness of the cheese and meat and provide a refreshing palate cleanser between bites. At Bar Enza, we offer a variety of marinated vegetables, including Cubanelle Peppers, Torpedo Onions, Minced Ginger Baby Artichokes, Celery Hearts, OJ Carrots, Thai Basil Shiitakes, Salsify, Rabe, Soy/ Balsamic/ Porcini, to add to your custom board. Adding marinated vegetables to your cheese and meat board not only enhances the overall flavor experience but also provides a colorful and visually appealing arrangement.
