This Northern Italian soft-ripened, custardy delight sits in a plump, bloomy rind that just barely restrains its sweet, luscious paste. Decadence at its finest.

Mild flavors and complex textures let the sweet and grassy flavors from water buffalo milk shine through. Casatica begs for a glass of effervescent wine on the side.

Revived with love from start to finish in Caputo's Cheese Caves in Salt Lake City, Utah.
