Nonno Nanni Stracchino / Crescenza (250g)

Creamy, mild, pasteurized cow's milk cheese, Nonno Nanni Stracchino refers almost exclusively to crescenza-like fresh, cow's milk cheese with a washed rind and a soft center. In Lombardy since the 12th century, the stracchino variety of cheeses were originally made in the autumn from the milk of cows migrating south to avoid the cold of winter. The herds tended to produce a thinner milk, owing to fatigue endured during the trip. As the cows were 'stracche', or 'tired', the diminutive 'stracchino' was used to describe the cheese their milk produced.

You can try it with fresh or cooked vegetables. Alternatively, spread on crackers with some Parma ham for a delicious snack.

Cow milk, milk enzymes, rennet, salt.
