Cold cuts and cheese

Cold cuts and cheese have always been one of the most popular italian traditional dishes. In Arcobalenofood you will find a selection of excellent products to bring to your table every day.

So let's see the characteristics of a good cold cut and a high quality cheese.

How to choose a good cured meat

In order to to make a conscious purchase, you should take into account the seasoning and check the production date, which should not be higher than six months before the purchase, so that you can take home a fresh cold cut.

While cutting the meat, you should smell the characteristic aromatic scent: the best ham will have a typical hazelnut aftertaste. The color should also be perfect: dark red with pinkish fat and well distributed to make the slice nice and soft. The percentage of fat may vary depending on the type of cured meat, but in any case that same fat is harmless.

The range colors of the slice may vary from an intense red to a delicate white in the fatty part and there should not be any yellow shades. Overall, the slice should be firm and without holes.

How to choose a good cheese

A high quality cheese should have essential ingredients such as raw or pasteurized milk, rennet and salt. In some cases the ingredients also include milk enzymes, and only in the presence of these elements-without any additives- you can be sure that the cheese, will be an excellent quality cheese. 

At Arcobalenofood you will find the best soft, semi-hard and hard cheese. Indeed, at the top of the rating scale there are raw milk cheeses with special organoleptic properties. This is possible since that the chemical and physical characteristics of the milk are not destroyed, and it is the same raw milk that gives the cheese interesting aromatic sensations.  

Finally, for you to take home an excellent cheese, it is important that the milk comes from cows that graze in the wild and feed on grass. In this case, the cheese will be rich in carotenes, Omega 3 and good fatty acids: a huge benefit for the consumer's health. Simply put, cheese shopping can become a daily moment to devote to the search for quality.
