Quadrello di Bufala

Texture & Appearance - Soft, semi-firm interior, ivory in color with tiny pinhead-sized holes. A delicate, edible rind featuring a natural mix of white, gray, and golden molds, a sign of lively maturation. A subtle blush-like hue, reminiscent of pale rosé wine.

Flavor & Aroma Profile - Less pungent than traditional washed-rind cheeses, with a mild, earthy aroma of cave-aged cultures and mushrooms. The creaminess coats the tongue, offering a rich, slightly sweet taste with a balanced tang and gentle saltiness. Buffalo milk adds a distinctly smooth and sweet depth, making it more approachable than Taleggio while still complex and satisfying.

Pairings & Serving Suggestions

• Wine Pairing – Quadrello shines when paired with Williamson Amour Merlot, which complements its rich, creamy texture and long, savory finish.
• Serving Ideas – Enjoy on a cheeseboard with fresh figs, honey, or toasted walnuts. Serve it melted over grilled bread or incorporated into risottos and creamy polenta.
• Perfect for Melting – Try in a gourmet grilled cheese, creamy pasta dishes, or atop a burger for a luxurious twist

Refrigerate at 3–6°C (37–43°F), wrapped in wax paper or breathable cheese paper. Allow to breathe before serving—bring to room temperature for 30–45 minutes to enhance flavor and texture.
