Murazzano

This tasty soft fresh full-fat (50-56%) cheese is made mostly with ewes’ milk around the area of Murazzano, in Cuneo in the province of Piedmont. Formed into a cylindrical shape 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) in diameter, 3-4 cm (1¼-1½ inches) high and weighing about 300-400 g (10½-14 oz), it is white and does not have a crust, because it is immersed in brine before being eaten, which should be within 6-10 days of being ready. It is an exquisite table cheese and is delicious served with olive oil, salt and pepper, or in hot sauces.
