Stella Alpina

Throughout its maturation process, Stella Alpina develops a delicate white rind, naturally adorned with soft mold growth. Far from being mere adornment, this rind is a prized delicacy, cherished by cheese aficionados for its sweet and tender qualities, which complement the cheese's flavor profile impeccably. To discard it is deemed sacrilege among cheese lovers.  Stella Alpina is a cheese crafted for the true connoisseur, boasting a sumptuous, buttery flavor, a luxuriously soft and runny paste, and a subtle earthy aroma. Best enjoyed as a star attraction on a gourmet cheeseboard, it comes into its own when served at room temperature. Allowing it to rest outside refrigeration for approximately 20 minutes before indulging enhances its full spectrum of characteristics, rendering its center irresistibly soft and yielding, as if warmed from within.
