Brought up in Sardinia, Mario Olianas comes from a strong family of Italian gastronomes.
Moving to Leeds in 2001, he quickly set about realising his passion for food – by setting up Italian supper clubs and baking fine foods. Upon hearing about his family’s diversification into cheese-making, however, Mario decided he wanted to create a better Italian cheese than his brothers’, who make pecorino-style cheeses in their homes in Sardinia in the classical Italian way.
Getting hold of a small vat, he started making cheese in a specially converted room within his house, following an adapted Gorgonzola recipe. He uses fresh sheep’s milk which he collects daily from just outside Harrogate, and cultures imported from Italy.

Shared with friends. One loved it and one liked it! As for me – I’ll try a different blue next time I order.
