Stink Level: 7/10

Soft washed-rind cow's milk cheese from Lombardy. It gives off a scent described as fruity, yeasty, mild funk, musty, with a taste that’s mild, creamy, tangy, fruity, and a texture that's orange-pink rind, soft creamy interior. It’s often enjoyed melted in risotto or polenta, served with figs, paired with nebbiolo.
