-   ABOUT US  -

WELCOME TO THE DRUNK CHEESE WORLD!

A world that over 10 years ago sweeped us off our feet.

We have always been passionate about cheese and wine and, when we found out that there was a chance of having the two in the same bite, we took it as a mission to make sure the all world knew about this delicacy and it's fashinating story.

What better place to start if not Borough Market?

After years traveling around Italy to source the best and most unique Drunk Cheeses our selection has grown togheter with the Ubriaco popularity.

 

Hope you'll enjoy our products as much as we do!

 

Almost forgot... here's how the Ubriaco came about in Italy:

Provenience Veneto/Friuli

"Around the end of the first world war the retreiting troops would loot the villages for food and more.

One man, who's history doesn't recall the name, was determined on one thing only:

they could snatch anything but his precious cheese!

So he started hiding the wheels of cheese in barrels filled with wine mark."

This is our favourite interpretation of how this cheese came about, but there is no certeinty of it.

In fact, some other people says that it was common practice at the beginning of the 20th century to use the wine mark instead of olive oil to rub the cheeses as oil was too expensive.

Enjoy
