Stracchino cheese
Stracchino is a cows’ milk cheese, typical of Lombardy. It is eaten very young, has a soft, creamy texture and normally a mild and delicate flavour. It is normally square in shape.
The name of the cheese derives from the Italian word "stracca," meaning "tired". It is said that the milk from tired cows is richer in fats and more acidic. These qualities were discovered, according to legend, in the milk of cows that were moved seasonally, up and down the Alps to different pastures. The milk of such cows gives the cheese its characteristic flavours.
