Fresh cheeses

There are areas of Italy where fresh cheeses are the exception, but others where they represent their peculiarity. When we talk about this category of cheese, the first thing that comes to mind is mozzarella. A pasta filata cheese that has conquered the world. In this selection you will find the real PDO Buffalo Mozzarella from Campania and various types of other filata pasta that come from southern regions, such as the Pugliese braid, the burrata, the stracciatella. But fresh cheeses are also those made with sheep's milk and that have undergone the purging process, the small tome vaccines aged a few days, the goats that smell of yogurt

and fresh butter.

Fresh cheeses: taste and lightness

Fresh cheeses are ideal for those who want to keep themselves light without giving up a nutritious and tasty dish. You are spoiled for choice to find tasty alternatives to classic aged cheeses

.


How to recognize fresh cheese

Fresh cheeses, in general, are immediately recognizable because they have an expiration date that does not exceed 30 days, have a water content of more than 60 percent, a slightly sour taste and the presence of live lactic ferments, around one million per gram.


Buffalo Mozzarella

Buffalo mozzarella is a DOP fresh cheese (protected designation of origin) typical of Caserta but is also produced in other areas of Campania. It is made by processing exclusively buffalo milk.
The name “mozzarella” derives from the cheese maker who, to produce it, 'cuts' the spun pasta and then gives it its characteristic shape.
The color is typically porcelain white and when cut it produces serum that smells like lactic ferments. As a rule, the artisanal one should not be refrigerated because temperatures that are too low cause it to lose elasticity and granularity, but it must be kept at room temperature, in its serum. If it's very hot, you can keep it cool by dipping the bag it contains in a bowl full of water

to be changed frequently.


Fiordilatte Mozzarella

It is basically a mozzarella made not with buffalo milk but with cow's milk. It has a slightly straw yellow color and a more delicate flavor. Fiordilatte is a food that can bear the European acronym Sgt, that is, a guaranteed traditional specialty. It should be kept in its serum, like mozzarella, but in the fridge. It can be eaten fresh or it can be used to season salads or pasta or

other dishes.


The Ricotta

Ricotta is not a primary product but what remains of the whey after cheese processing. Ricotta can be cow, buffalo or sheep. In addition, it can be fresh or processed (spicy, smoked, seasoned, salted). Ricotta should be kept in the fridge in a sealed container, but it is advisable to consume it within

a few days.


La Robiola

They called it 'rubeola' because once seasoned it had a reddish rind. It is a typical cheese from the Lombardy area and can be produced with sheep's, cow's, or goat's milk. It is after that of Murazzano and that of Roccaverano. The latter can be found on Spaghetti and Mandolin as well as that of Lessini, another Italian delicacy. The flavor is typically sour and becomes stronger with aging

.


Fermented cheeses, fresh “special” cheeses

Fermented cheeses are those that have had a special fermentation. Among these, we can mention blue cheeses such as the famous Gorgonzola or the French Roquefort. These cheeses are creamy, with an incisive and equally pleasant taste

.


The Gorgonzola

Gorgonzola is a very old cheese, some say that it was made for the first time, in the homonymous town outside Milan, in the year 879. It is a raw cheese, pasteurized milk, fatty, straw white in color, whose green streaks are due to the blueing process, that is, to the formation of mold due to the addition of penicillium spores to the milk. It can be sweet or spicy.


The Roquefort Noir

Roquefort Teste Noir is a historic French cheese, the most famous blue cheese, produced with sheep's milk and originally from Roquefort-sur-Soulzon (southern France). One of the rare non-Italian exceptions on our portal, but an excellence that deserves to be tasted and adored. Roquefort is the only cheese in the world whose designation of origin has been recognized by law since 1925. Its production follows methods unchanged over time and is the first blue cheese that has ever been

invented.


Are fresh low-fat cheeses good for your health

Fresh cheeses contain a very high bacterial load and a fairly low lactose content, which makes them perfect in the diet of those who need to enrich the intestinal flora and control digestive disorders. The fat content is also very limited compared to aged cheeses, while their calcium intake makes them allies in the prevention of osteoporosis, especially for women between 25 and 30 years old
