What You Should Know

You'd find this at the specialty cheese counter, deli, or farmers' market—pulled out for grating over pasta, finishing a risotto, or starring on a charcuterie board. Its hard, granular texture and intense umami give an indulgent, artisanal, slightly nostalgic vibe that speaks to tradition and slow aging. The short ingredient list (raw cow milk, salt, rennet) and long maturation suggest traditional processing techniques rather than industrial ultra-processing, pointing toward a processed but not ultra-processed product.
