This very new and unusual cheese comes from the region of Lombardy in Northern Italy. Made with whole pasteurized cow’s milk, it is an “erborinato” (marbled –blue veined) cheese, and is particularly unusual as it has been cured with the “must” from the passito grapes from Pantelleria.
The cheese undergoes a traditional aging of about 3 months, during which time the veining becomes more pronounced and it will develop a distinct rather piquant taste but always very smooth and pleasant. The perfect blend of the blue veined cheese and the sweet grape “must” results in a cheese which is slightly spicy yet never exaggerated, and rich in hints of apricots and almonds and all the fragrance of the flowers and herbs of the varied rich mountain pastures. It is a true symphony of tastes in a crescendo of marvelous gustatory sensations. Exceptional when accompanied by a mountain chestnut honey, a bitter orange marmalade or fig jam. Excellent also in the Kitchen as a special alternative in the preparation of many dishes that go so well with the great marbled dishes.
