Quartirolo Lombardo DOP 1.5 Kg

Quartirolo Lombardo is a cheese produced in much of Lombardy with cow's milk. It is a cheese protected by the DOP consortium, which prevents imitations and ensures compliance with strict production rules. It is a fatty cheese with a short aging period and a soft paste. Quartirolo has a soft white rind in the fresh version, while it turns gray in the aged version. As it ages, Quartirolo becomes creamy and fragrant. The name Quartirolo comes from "quarto" (fourth), as in the past, Quartirolo was made from milk derived from feeding only on the fourth cut of grass. After the fourth cut of grass, the cows would come down to the valley tired from the time spent in the alpine pastures. Pairings: Quartirolo Lombardo DOP is a typical cheese to be enjoyed on its own, usually accompanied by cold dishes and salad. Recommended wine: Franciacorta Saten and Lugana. Storage: Store in the refrigerator, cover the cut part. Processing: For the production of Quartirolo, whole milk from at least two milkings is used, added with whey and liquid calf rennet. After the curd is formed, it is broken into small parts, and the extracted paste is placed into the typical square molds of Quartirolo. This is followed by salting with salt or brine.
