SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO TASTE THE CHEESE

CHEESE "ROUND THE CLOCK"
The tasting of the cheese "round the clock" can be an excellent main course, a fine interesting and pleasant way to start a dinner.

All Cheese produced by Rosso Dairy belong to the traditional Biellesi cheeses. Although they are all soft cheeses they differ in taste because the milk, collected from different valleys, is obtained by cows eating different pastures. The different cheeses will have different levels of matureness which will distinguish one cheese from another in its taste.

Preparation of the plate: use a shallow plate and lay each slice of cheese (30 each) in a clockwise direction depending on the intensity of its taste. Begin with the mild cheese and end with the mature and tasty one. To indicate the starting and the end point of the tasting use honey and jam to combine with the cheese.

Suggested cheese sequence: “Toma Brusca” Castelrosso, Maccagno, Toma Biellese, Toma Piemontese P.D.O. , Skimmed milk Valle Elvo Toma, Gratin, Toma alle erbe (with herbs), Toma al peperoncino (with hot pepper).

To combine with the cheese: Chestnut honey, Cognà (marc fruit pickle).

“Toma Brusca” Castelrosso is a versatile and easy to use ingredient, which can be used as an aperitif and for any cheeseboard. We suggest serving it with a Passito sweet dessert wine. As an aperitif, cut it into small cubes or thin slices and serve it with chestnut honey, “Cogna” (raisin and fruit pickles), pear and ginger jam. For cheeseboard use, you can combine it with any type of cheese.
