Caseificio Longo

TOMA PIEMONTESE PDO 200g

This cheese has a very soft paste and a uniform consistency, a straw-yellow color and is named after the traditional preservation process that took place on straw (the Italian word for straw being "paglia"). The light and slightly moldy rind and the short ripening period give Paglierina® an unmistakable taste and the appearance of cheese ripened on straw, while preserving the characteristic aroma of hay and almond. Awarded with the Grolla d'Oro Formaggi d'autore 2010 and Silver World Cheese Award 2016/2017. This cheese goes well with any dish and can be used in many recipes. It is rich in protein with a balanced fat content.
