Hasse at the cheese counter

Our story

It all starts with someone who cares.

My name is Hasse. I grew up behind the counter of my family's salumeria in Modena, and I moved to Sweden with one stubborn idea: that you deserve cheeses worth longing for. Today I travel to where the flavour lives — from the cellars of Emilia-Romagna to the alpine dairies — and bring home only what's worth the journey.

— Hasse, assaggiatore

Straight from the farms

No middlemen. Just a handshake.

Every Sunday I call the producers. Giovanni in Cremona lets me know when the figs have reached just the right sweetness; the cheesemakers — from Emilia-Romagna to the alpine villages — set aside their finest wheels for us. These aren't suppliers — they're friends I've chosen over many years.

It means I know exactly where everything comes from, how it was made and why it tastes the way it does. That knowledge guides my selection.

The care behind the flavours

Craftsmanship you can taste.

Early mornings, wheels split by hand, tasting notes written late at night. It's the work nobody sees — the difference between a cheese and a memory.
