Langherino

A small cow and sheep’s milk cheese with a soft white rind.

Fresh, with aromas of warm milk and undergrowth; as it matures, the paste becomes even creamier, with a pleasant flavor of cream and cooked milk that lingers on the palate.

Langherino is recognized by its soft, white bloomy rind, which introduces subtle notes of undergrowth from the very first days.

When fresh, it is tender and delicate, with a clean aroma of warm milk; with aging, the paste becomes creamier, revealing a full flavor of cream and cooked milk.

The persistence is surprising for such a small format: the flavor lingers on the palate, while the herbaceous note that emerges with aging enhances its complexity.
