Quadrello di Bufala Cheese, 5 lb

Quadrello di Bufala hails from the lush dairying region of Lombardia in northern Italy, where the unique richness of buffalo milk is transformed into an exceptional washed-rind cheese. Inspired by the classic Taleggio, this cheese is crafted with 100% water buffalo milk, lending it a delicate creaminess and a subtle tang that sets it apart from its cow’s milk cousins. The thin, slightly sticky rind is tinged with rose and orange hues, encasing a supple, yielding paste that melts beautifully on the tongue.

The sensory experience of Quadrello di Bufala is multifaceted: its aroma is gently pungent yet inviting, with earthy undertones and a whisper of sweet hay. The flavor is both lactic and savory, with a mild grassy note and a lingering finish that echoes the richness of buffalo milk. Its texture is smooth and creamy, making it easy to slice or spread. Whether served at room temperature on a cheese board or melted into risotto, Quadrello di Bufala brings a touch of Italian tradition to any table.

For an authentic Italian experience, pair this cheese with rustic bread, ripe figs, or a drizzle of acacia honey. A glass of crisp Franciacorta or a light red wine such as Barbera complements its flavors beautifully. Quadrello di Bufala is a standout addition to antipasto platters and shines as a centerpiece for gatherings and special occasions.
