Stracchino Cheese

The typical sweet, soft cheese of Lombardy. In winter, artisanal stracchino tends to be softer and sometimes almost liquid, in summer for better shelf life it is made with a somewhat more compact consistency and lower whey content. It is a very fresh cheese to be consumed quickly, although connoisseurs also appreciate it “passito,” that is, when after a few days the outer “skin” thickens and the flavors become more pronounced.

Chef’s Advice

Stracchino is excellent paired with fruity white wines, pale ales, Cremona mustard, piadina romagnola, focaccia and sandwiches. Stracchino is prized for its versatility in the kitchen: it can be eaten on its own, as a spread on bread and crackers, or used in a variety of recipes, from fillings for focaccias and pizzas to ingredients for salads and pasta dishes.
