Stelvio Cheese

I recently tastes a new cow's milk cheese from Northern Italy called Stelvio. It has the cream semi-soft texture of a Fontina and the sharp assertive aroma and taste of an aged Parmesan Reggiano. It's a wonderful buttery flavor is a perfect accompaniment to an antipasto, a cheese tray, a sauce or on top of a pizza. This cheese melts well without jeopardizing its flavor or aroma. You will most likely find it at a cheese shop that has a good selection of Italian cheeses. I buy mine locally at Capri Flavors in Morrisville, NC.
