Aged 6 Months - Our Lionza cheese is a direct result of the roots of the Fiscalini Family in Switzerland. The cheese is named after the tiny hamlet high in the Swiss Alps where the Fiscalinis called home formore than 300 years. One Fiscalini family still lives there today. The cheese is classified as an alpine cheese because it was first produced in the Alps. We followthe same steps developed generations ago, yet currently used by cheesemakers in the Ticino region of Switzerland, and have produced a cheese remarkably similarin taste, aroma, and texture to the cheesesthat are made there today. Our wheels are 26 pounds, slightly larger than the traditional Swiss wheels. The cheese is lightly straw colored with a few irregulareyes. It has a thin natural hard rind, a sweet milky caramel-like flavor, an enchanting aroma, and a semi-soft springy texture. This is a wonderful snacking cheeese, and should be great in cooking and fondues.
