BelGioioso Italico

BelGioioso Italico is crafted in small batches with the freshest local milk gathered daily from local farms. During its 90-day aging, our cheese makers carefully hand-wash each piece with salt and water, allowing the cheese to bloom with a rose-colored rind. This process gives Italico its distinctive, earthy flavor, while its tender texture allows it to melt beautifully and slice with ease. This specialty cheese is exclusively made by BelGioioso.
