This BelGioioso original is crafted in small batches with the freshest local milk gathered daily from local farms. During its 90-day aging, our cheese makers carefully hand-wash each piece with salt and water, allowing the cheese to bloom with a rose-colored rind. This process gives Italico™ its distinctive, earthy flavor, while its tender texture allows it to melt beautifully and slice with ease. This specialty cheese is exclusively made by BelGioioso.
