Bufaletto Tallegio

 Milk: Cow and Buffalo 

Origin: Italy 

Texture: Semi-Soft 

A soft table cheese made in the style of Taleggio, Bufaletto is made from Italian Buffalo milk and Cow's milk, obtained from the north of Italy. Imported from Lombardy, Bufaletto is a soft, aromatic cheese with a tangy flavor from the Buffalo milk used. Repeated washing with a saltwater brine produce a thin, pale-pink rind. When you cut into the cheese the color of the paste varies from white to pale yellow depending on the season. This cheese is made by Caseificio Defendi Luigi, who has made a name for itself by producing exceptional Taleggio, Gorgonzola, and Crescenza. Still a family business, Mr. Pietro Defendi's dairy farm began to turn the milk into fresh cheese and into typical local products in 1865. Bufaletto is one of the dairy's newest creations and sure to become a popular new addition. Enjoy this bold cheese with cured meats, mostarda, fried capers, and roasted peppers.
