What is Boschetto Cheese?
Are you a total cheesehead? If finding unique and tasty forms of formaggio is your favorite hobby, perhaps you know of boschetto. For those that have never tried boschetto cheese before, you are in for a total treat— and we are excited to be the ones to share it with you. This Tuscan-made, semi-soft, fresh cheese is one of Italy’s best kept artisanal secrets. Comprised of a rich blend of pasteurized cow and sheep’s milk, fresh, semisoft boschetto cheese has a creamy texture and a mild aroma as a foundation. It also contains another ingredient that makes it extra special...
What Makes Boschetto Unique?
There is a reason that folks are coming back to this unctuous treat again and again. Aside from its sweet, rustic tasting notes, there is an undercurrent of something earthier such as truffles, the diamonds of the culinary world. What makes Italian boschetto cheese out-of-this-world delicious is the shavings of real white truffles, which lends an enchanting flavor and aroma to this luxurious cheese. After experiencing the divine, melt-in-your-mouth elegance of boschetto, the Rolls Royce of cheeses, we can no longer imagine a cheeseboard (or even a piece of toast) without it.
Where is Italian Boschetto Made?
A prized import from northern Tuscany, Boschetto is produced in a green and lush valley called Mugello. Produced by II Forteto Cooperative, it is processed and then aged for under two months.
What are Some Ways to Use Boschetto Cheese?
With its delicate, yet distinct flavor, aroma, and soft texture, boschetto is a perfect cheese for many occasions.
Whether your next cheese board is for a wine night with your friends or the dessert of a 12-course meal, boschetto is a perfect addition. We recommend pairing it with a glass of dry white wine and a bit of fig jam.
With such a lovely and rare flavor, boschetto it is best eaten on its own or with something simple that allows the flavors of the cheese to shine through. A pillowy heap of scrambled eggs with boschetto shaved over the top is the perfect pairing for this gourmet Italian import; it will knock the socks off your next brunch guests.
The next time you try a classic French casserole like tartiflette or gratin, or even baked brie or camembert, try using some boschetto as your cheese instead; it will give your recipes an incredibly decadent, Tuscan-inspired twist.
If you’re making a side dish of roasted root vegetables, adding some fresh shavings of boschetto cheese, a sprinkling of herbs, and a squeeze of lemon will elevate it to the next level. This can be served and enjoyed however you’d like: hot, cold, or at room temperature.
