This candle is cut with a wedge pulled away to reveal the cheesey interior beneath the golden rind. Cereria Introna transforms pecorino cheese into a playful wax sculpture, balancing remarkable realism with the atelier's unmistakable sense of humour.
The maker has been hand-pouring candles in Bari, Puglia since 1840, a tradition now in its sixth generation. Each wheel is shaped from natural paraffin wax with a cotton wick, finished entirely by hand, so no two come out quite the same.
Set out on a table or sideboard, it reads less like a candle and more like a small still life, the kind of object that makes people look twice before they realize what it is.
