Product Description
By popular demand, we bring you Bel Paese. Invented in Lombardy in 1929 by the Galbani Cheese Company, Bel Paese is now made in the U.S.A. Literally meaning "beautiful country," Dante used these words to describe Italy which in turn inspired Galbani to name his cheese Bel Paese. It is a semi-soft, uncooked, pressed pasteurized cow's milk cheese with a wax rind. Made in small discs, it's appearance is pale, creamy yellow with small holes dotted amongst its interior. Bel Paese has a mild, buttery flavor, similar to mozzarella but with more body and tang. It's a marvelously versatile cheese suitable for snacks or as a dessert cheese, but also melts well making it perfect for casseroles or as an alternative pizza topping. Enjoy Bel Paese paired with a light Chardonnay or a Barbera.
