It has a fruity-creamy flavor, pairs perfectly with fruit and dry white wine, and is an indispensable addition to a cheese tasting. It also pairs well with hot dishes and soups. Starter culture is added to prepared, warmed milk to develop a creamy and fruity profile, followed by a coagulant. The curd is then finely cut and stirred, causing the cheese grain to condense. Next, it is transferred into a press mold under a weight that exceeds the wheel's weight by 4–5 times. The wheel is then placed in a brine bath for a day so it absorbs the salt. The cheese ages for 4 to 6 months, gaining density and a distinctive texture that allows its full spectrum of flavors to develop completely.
