The typical sweet, soft cheese of Lombardy. In winter, artisanal stracchino tends to be softer and sometimes almost liquid, in summer for better shelf life it is made with a somewhat more compact consistency and lower whey content. It is a very fresh cheese to be consumed quickly, although connoisseurs also appreciate it "passito," that is, when after a few days the outer "skin" thickens and the flavors become more pronounced.

Chef's Advice
Stracchino is excellent paired with fruity white wines, pale ales, Cremona mustard, piadina romagnola, focaccia and sandwiches. Stracchino is prized for its versatility in the kitchen: it can be eaten on its own, as a spread on bread and crackers, or used in a variety of recipes, from fillings for focaccias and pizzas to ingredients for salads and pasta dishes.

When great-grandfather Luigi Guffanti began aging Gorgonzola in 1876, his genius intuition was the purchase of an abandoned silver mine in Valganna, in the province of Varese. Five generations have passed, the attention to the artisanal quality of the cheese product and the passion for careful ripening continue to characterize the Guffanti-Fiori family, consolidated to this day as one of the best ripeners in the world.
