About

A semi-hard Italian cows' milk cheese. Its taste is described as mild and nutty, almost sweet. Sometimes the taste has more tang depending on where it was produced. It melts well, and the tang is most prominent when melted. The cheese is a pale straw color with small holes. The maturing period is from 40 to 60 days, the older it is the browner the rind is.
