Default Delicious cheese shop

Just discovered today a shop that sells delicious cheese and local produce, the cheese is made at their own farm from their own cows,sheep and goats.They also sell lovely bread , some reasonable wines and have a selection of special foods for dietry needs.
We have just had the bread and cheese for lunch, its well worth a visit to try.
The shop is called Nonna Rosa and is at 30 Piane di Falerone, if you are arriving from Fermo direction it is a sharp right into a large car park just before the junction to Monte Vidon, the shop is on the corner on the far right. The owner is very friendly and gives lots of samples to help you make your choice.

Angie, you are making me so envious that I am going to have to buy another house at Le Marche!

Another excellent cheese shop is Fontegranne in Belmonte Piceno. Their cheese is made on the farm and sold from the farm shop. The one that we like most is the " formaggio al peperoncino" a lovely spicy cheese.
Address is V. Castellarso Ete, 11.
They also carry a range of other local produce and ceramic ware.

Geo I think this is the same people and the shop in Piano di Falerone is a new venture for them, I think as well as the farm near to Belmonte they also have one near to Amandola, or at least keep their sheep up there?.

Hi A & R. Yes, he does have a farm at the other end of Lago San Ruffino, just above the Deer Park, but it is purely dairy cattle (250 head) if I remember rightly. Belmonte has 150 head. He knows of the shop at P de F, but it is not one of his ventures.

Robert returned to the cheese shop today and was greeted like a long lost friend, he was given so many samples he told the owner he was having his lunch there.Bought more cheeses and at the end was give a free ball of hard ricotta to try, Its to be grated onto pasta.
The prices are so reasonable and the produce so fresh, just thought I would give it another star rating.
