Gustav and I often get asked which knives are best to use for cutting different types of cheeses. Gustav’s answer is, obviously, that you don´t need knives at all and just use your fangs—but mine naturally is not quite as simple.
@cheesewithastory – a chit-chat on cheese and time
Last week Munich based Constantin Pelka of @cheesewithastory and I had a little chit-chat on Instagram.
Gustav says he is still sad he didn’t make it but will make sure to have a cleared calendar next time!
Truffle&Cheese – please be my Valentine!
For some people Valentines day is just another day of the year. Others celebrate with flowers, cake and special surprises. We at *formaggiastic.com* follow the decadent love road of cheese and truffle!
notes from the cheesy roads – the Holy Prosecco Land
Last fall for a long weekend we drove to the Veneto, namely into the area of Conegliano. Our main focus, I have to admit was to stack up on as many bottles of Prosecco as Signor Rossi can carry but Gustav wouldn´t be *team formaggiastic* if he wouldn´t have pointed out some cheese hot spots for us.
So here, an excursion for mind and heart and a short idea post for your future travels; two cheese places we went to and happily recommend for your next trip to “Prosecco Land”.
L’Ottavio – Beer and Cheese, together forever!
Gustav and I can’t wait to return to our beloved Piedmont and were super happy to find this gem at @Tutta Posto last week. – L’ ´Ottavio (alla birra scura) by Fattorie Fiandino from Villafalletto about one hour south of Turin.
Have yourself a merry cheesy Christmas!
Gustav says „Happy Surf-Turf Christmas“ to all of us and no rating‘s on him today.
I say – Gustav rates 1000/10 and we both wish you a relaxed, safe and extra cheeseful Christmas! 🎄🧀🧀🐾🐺🍾
Ons Genot – a sunday pleasure for the whole family!
I don’t know how the past days went for you – but Gustav and I deep dived in WAY too much Thanksgiving deliciousnesses. Duck, Stuffing, Caramel Pecan/Pumpkin Pie – and this just to name a few!
So for our Sunday afternoon snack – we decided for *Ons Genot* and rich flavors without the heavy, fatty components.
Sürk Peynir – tasty and dry as Bonds Martini
Recently for our pre-dinner snack Gustav managed to get his paws on *Sürk Peynir*, a dried cottage cheese from Turkey’s southernmost province, Hatay.
FINALLY – The Wait Comes to an End!
Some of you might have followed our Instagram updates and may also have seen some of our interviews with Italian farmers and cheesemakers prior to this year’s event of the

Herve – your warrior against July´s city smells
In these hot July days a beer often seems like the Holy Grail, but we all know that even the best drink cannot replace cheese as our daily staple food.
