Specialty Cheeses

Spressa delle Giudicarie DOP is made with partially skimmed milk; the resulting paste is semi-hard, thick and elastic, straw white in color. Rind is darker. The taste is sweet, but aging gives it peculiar aromas, flavors and scents derived from the hay growing in theta mountain area. This cheese can be enjoyed as it is, but it also good in typical regional dishes, including polenta, in which it is cut into small pieces to make it melt. It goes well with strong red wines and particularly with Marzemino d’Isera.
