Cossanella

Semi-aged cheese made from cow’s milk and cream, with a natural red-orange rind and soft, enveloping paste.
Cossanella expresses the sweet, round character of the milk, with notes of toasted bread that open on the palate.

Cossanella is immediately recognizable by its red-orange rind, obtained through washing during aging with Annatto, a natural plant-based colorant of tropical origin used in cheese production for centuries.

The soft, creamy paste, made from cow’s milk and cream, expresses a sweet and enveloping flavor with a pleasant toasted bread finish that emerges at the end.

Its edible rind adds a savory touch that balances the sweetness of the paste.

What the palate reveals

Beneath the red rind lies a surprising paste: delicate at first, enveloping in body, with a finish that slowly unfolds.

Sensory Profile

Aromas: Upon opening, the bouquet expresses itself with a clean sweetness of cooked milk and lactic notes that provide freshness. The tertiary notes reveal themselves discreetly: toasted bread and a touch of light caramel complete a refined and elegant aromatic profile.

On the palate: In the mouth, the texture is soft and enveloping, with a dominant sweet and creamy taste. The medium persistence finishes on those same toasted notes—a finale that opens slowly, without haste.
