Overview

Melburnians, your love for cheese knows no bounds. From conquering a 150-cheese pizza to indulging in cheese-centric festivals, you've done it all. But here's another challenge for your cheese-loving palate: a one-of-a-kind 29-cheese gnocchi.

South Yarra's Cucinetta is the eatery behind the wondrous creation, which it's bringing back for its seventh iteration. If you're amenable to lactose and keen to give it a try, it's available between Monday, September 23–Sunday, October 6 for both lunch and dinner.

Each bite of the handmade potato gnocchi is a symphony of flavours, thanks to the 29 carefully selected cheeses from Thomastown's That's Amore Cheese. The lineup includes buffalo mozzarella, truffled caciotta, smoked scamorza, burrata and blue cheese.
