Erborinato Sancarlone
Novara blue named after the patron saint of the city of Arona: Erborinato Sancarlone (in honor of San Carlo Borromeo, whose colossal statue protects the town of Arona, where Luigi Guffanti is based, from the hill of the same name).
This cheese is made from cow’s milk from the province of Novara, combining two different processes (evening milk with milk from the following morning) and is blue-veined using the traditional process of inoculating the paste with Penicillium roqueforti and then aged in the cellar.
It has an intense and slightly spicy flavour, characteristic of blue cheeses.
