Drunken Buffalo

Once moulded this buffalo cheese is left in barrels covered and soaking in this mixture of grape skin and lees which creates a crunchy traditional purple “crust” and gives the cheese a well-balanced and pleasant wine taste all the way through its texture. Upon its 6 month maturation this cheese develops a soft and supple texture, very soft to the palate, which ages to become firmer and crumbly, similar to a Parmigiano texture, with a rich lactic taste of Buffalo milk, It has a flowery aroma and smells of red wine with , It can be served in crumbles or shavings with a glass of any aged and robust red wine.
