This product is made out of filtered and pasteurized cow milk submitted to a process involving semi-cooking, pressing, salting and aging for about 40 days, after which the cheese has a semi-hard texture with a lot of holes provoked by special yeasts added to the milk.
The flavor is soft, nutty and slightly sweet, while the aroma is clean and light with a dairy, caramel touch.
It is a square and flat cheese of about 6 Kg.
It can be packaged in a vacuumed plastic film soon after salting and drying, and has no rind.
Steppe cheese can be eaten on its own, in cheese plates and cheese and wine parties or as table cheese with fruit, bread and drinks.
It is a good substitute for prato cheese in snacks and sandwiches with better gastronomic results, for which reason supermarkets usually slice it and sell it in trays.
Eat it with green wine grapes, cherries or pears.
It is also very good with marmalades and jams. Due to its fruity flavor, it asks for white fruity wine (Riesling or Asti).
