Il Vero Formaggio Scoparolo

“Il Vero Formaggio Scoparolo” takes its name from an old local tradition.

In rural houses it was custom to keep cheeses in cool places such as broom cupboards as the cellars were already full. The cheeses were placed on the wooden shelves to aid their maturing and brushed, turned and oiled with care. When the farmer asked to get the cheese he would say “Fetch me the Scoparolo!”, precisely because these cheeses were kept among the brooms (scopa is the Italian word for broom).

Today “Il vero formaggio Scoparolo” is the cherished result of an artisan process which lends an unmistakeable rich full flavour that represents the tradition of Romagna.
