Twenty-Nine Cheese Gnocchi

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 a new 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 a sixth year. If you're amenable to lactose and keen to give it a try, it's available between Monday, April 1–Sunday, April 14 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.

Setting you back $36.90, the smash-hit dish can be enjoyed alongside the restaurant's usual lineup of classic Italian dishes and be paired with a decent selection of wines.
