Chilled Occelli in Foglie di Castagno is a matured cow’s milk cheese from Italy, offered under the Chrono Food brand. Produced using high-quality cow’s milk and aged with chestnut leaves, it is presented as a half wheel weighing approximately 3.5kg and sold by weight. The cheese is stored chilled to preserve its texture and flavor.

Detailed Information

This Italian cheese is matured using a traditional method where it is wrapped in chestnut leaves (“foglie di castagno”), contributing to its distinctive aromatic profile. Made from pasteurised cow’s milk, rennet, and salt, the maturation process enhances depth and complexity.
It features a firm yet slightly yielding texture, with a balanced flavor profile that includes earthy and woody notes derived from the chestnut leaves. The rind bears the imprint of the leaves, while the interior remains compact with a straw-yellow color.
