Robiola Bosina Cheese


Robiola Bosina Cheese

I wanted to share a new cheese that I’ve just tried from Northern Italy called Robiola Bosina. It’s a creamy blend of cow’s and sheep’s milk surrounded by a rind that is reminiscent of Brie but with a milder flavor. This flat, square little pillow of cheese contains a luxurious, silky paste with smooth, well-balanced flavors. It’s great as a table cheese spread on some fresh crusty Ciabatta bread or it can be used in cooking with dishes like risotto. Special care should be exercised in properly storing the cheese (do not wrap in plastic, as the cheese can "choke" and spoil). Best stored refrigerated unwrapped in its crust, or wrapped in wax paper. Best used within a week of purchase but it can last for up to 1 month if stored properly. I highly recommend this cheese. It’s available at Italian speciality stores or at stores specializing in cheese. If you live in RTP you can get it at Capri Flavors in Morrisville.
