Also known as “Crescenza”, Stracchino a fresh, Italian cow's-milk cheese made from whole milk in the Lombardy region of Italy. The name Stracchino literally means in the local dialect "little tired one" as it is derived from the Italian word “stracca” meaning tired. The milk is traditionally made from the tired cows in the Autumn or Winter months who travel seasonally down the mountainous Alps. The milk obtained from these "tired" cows is the defining characteristic of the cheeses flavor. It is a soft and supple cheese that has a creamy texture and a milky and rich flavor that has a slightly acidic finish. Slab on a piece on a toasted baguette and serve with a crisp white wine such as Pinot Grigio.
