Milk from alpine pastures and barrel aging under Nebbiolo grapes (think Barolo wine!) create a sweet, semi-firm paste full of crunchy, wine-fruit complexity.

"Testun" means "stubborn" in the Cuneo dialect of northern Italy, a perfect descriptor for how challenging this cheese is to make.

MILK: pasteurized cow
TASTING: cream, pasture, crunchy rind
SERVING: rich meats like sizzling sausage or fatty salami
PAIRING: crisp dry white wines, lighter reds
REGION OF ORIGIN: Italy

MADE IN ITALY

Please expect some variation, up to 5%, on your hand-cut piece of cheese
