La Vera Fine Cheese Producers

The best cheese range I’ve had, amazing especially the mozzarella and prosciutto cheese, always friendly staff and specials within the store. I always bring my family cheese from la Vera and it never stays on the plate.

La Vera is sold in my local supermarket and I am not afraid to admit that I am ADDICTED. I love Bocconcini and have tried them all however, nothing really compares to La Vera. Recently I discovered their Halloumi and may I say it is the best I have had.
If you love cheese you will love La Vera!

La Vera used to sell their cheeses direct to the public from the factory ‘cellar door’ — it was a quaint experience which is a little lost now with the much more polished ‘Bottega La Vera’ opened a few shops down the road — that’s not an entirely bad thing though, the Bottega is one of the most impressive places to buy food in the area.
They ARE specialists in cheese, and if you’re a cheese lover you owe it to yourself to sample the range. There’s everything from hard Pecorino and Parmesan to Mozarella and Bocconcini, Blue, Brie, and everything in between.
I recommend the hot chilli Casalingo — I haven’t had another cheese like it.

La Vera is a boutique factory cheese making company where the number one focus is «the genuine art of cheese making.» With cheese making facilities on site the real attraction for punters like you and me is the La Vera retail outlet shop. The shop is open to the general public who can buy both the amazing array of La Vera cheeses along with all sorts of other gourmet treats.
Visit the shop on almost any day and you’ll be joined at the counter by legions of Italian ladies. In fact the chief language spoken inside the shop is Italian. Not being familiar with the language myself, I brought the tone down considerably with my Aussie strine but the whole experience made me feel like I was temporarily transported to an Italian marketplace.
Of their range of products, the cheeses I recommend are the La Vera Ricotta which head cheese maker Pino says is best eaten on fresh bread and with a drizzle of honey — his version of the breakfast of champions.
I love the La Vera Mascarpone. It is quite simply to die for. In fact you may want to visit your local GP first to get your cholesterol checked before eating. Their mozzarella balls both large and small, are the creamiest and most divine you could experience. And if you are a lover of blue cheese, you just can’t go past the La Vera Adel Blue and the Adel Blue Spreadable. Here’s a secret tip — if you go to the ABC’s website for The Cook and the Chef, and search the recipes for Fig and Blue Cheese Tartlets, Maggie Beer’s recipe uses the La Vera products. Shhh, don’t tell!
