Monnalisa Marzolino

Producer: SALCIS Origin: Tuscany, Italy

Marzolino is a TUSCAN sheep’s milk cheese traditionally produced in the springtime when the animals can finally graze on fresh grass; “Marzolino” in Italian means “March cheese.”  At SALCIS, this 100% sheep’s milk cheese is made in the rolling hills of Tuscany outside Siena in this locally beloved spring style, however, they are made all year round (from their own flow of sheep and supplemented with milk from neighboring farms).  Marzolino is aged a minimum of 3 months.  Its natural mold-mottled rind and unique shape give this cheese a rock-like appearance that conceals a past that is deceptively tender in texture.  Its clean milky, toasty, nutty notes and springy, supple texture make it an approachable snacking cheese – perfect for an aperitif.  Marzolino is a great melter and an incredibly versatile ingredient in the kitchen.
