Raw whole cow's milk from Pezzata Valdostana cows
Shape & Texture:

The washed rind is reddish and sticky while the supple paste has small holes and a mild, nutty flavour that hints of the herbaceous pastures on which the cows graze.
How to enjoy:
Famously used in a fonduta, a dish in which the cheese is whipped with eggs and cream. It goes well with full-flavoured red wines.
