Cheese Blogging: Raschera

Okay, I can't be the Stinky Cheese Man today. For one, I took a shower and applied my Axe antiperspirant/deodorant (doesn't seem to have the same effect on strangers as it does in the TV ads...at least for me). Second, my cheese of the day isn't a stinky cheese.

I do love going to DiBruno Brothers at lunchtime and sampling their cheeses. I've tried a bunch, My newfound favorite of the day is Raschera. Mild. Semi-soft, but with plenty of texture. Tasty. Here's the description from cheese.com:

Raschera is an Italian cheese that comes from Cuneo. Its name is derived from Lake Raschera, which lies at the foot of Mt Mongioie. It is a semi-soft cheese made from sweet cow's milk. The flavour of Raschera changes from season to season. Spring and summer cheeses are sweet, fresh and slightly tart. Winter cheeses are more solid and vibrant. Raschera has a round or square shape with reddish-yellow crust.

Okay, Raschera on crackers at lunchtime today. Next up: Petit Basque.
