Taste
Sweet and spicy

It’s a cheese made from whole cow’s milk. After about 15 days from production, the molds are submerged in the musts of black grapes (from Etna), where they rest from 40 to 60 days. It’s usually produced in September and October, when the wines are fermenting. It has a white texture and is compact, minimal holes, and could have a white to straw color, with an aroma of milk and wine. The typical full aromatic flavor is sweet and spicy at the same time, blended to a hint of wine.

HOW TO SERVE
It's a table cheese that can be enjoyed alone, or at the end of a meal as a dessert.

Nerello dell'Etna from Alcantara Formaggi (Azienda Casearia Camuglia) in Castiglione di Sicilia, in the Alcantara valley at the foot of Mount Etna, made from whole cow's milk from eastern Sicily. About 15 days after making, the wheels are buried in fresh pomace of Etna red grapes for 40 to 60 days; it is made only in September and October, while the wine is fermenting. Aged 60 days.

Ingredients: Cow's milk, rennet, salt. Rind treated with red grape pomace.

Contains: milk.

This cheese is so yummy. It is firm and delicious. You'd enjoy it thinly sliced. It is nice on rice and pasta.
