Bassanese Baby – Castellan semi-cooked cheese

Bassanese Baby – the small wheel, sweet and rounded

Bassanese has been a Castellan family brand for over 40 years. It comes from a small artisan dairy that works local milk with the classic technique of the Venetian cheesemaking tradition; the lactic ferments come from natural milk starters, the same ones used half a century ago.

The Baby is the smallest Bassanese wheel, weighing about 2.5 kg. It is a cheese made from Italian whole milk, with a semi-cooked paste, matured for 60 to 90 days. The wheel is round, with a hard rind; the paste is smooth and yellow, with slight rice-grain eyes. The aroma is a lingering scent of milk, the flavour rounded, sweet and lightly savoury, with notes of cooked butter and hazelnut; the texture is semi-hard, with moderate richness.

💡 How to enjoy it:
✔ As a main course, with salads or cooked vegetables
✔ In thin strips on pasta
✔ On hot dishes, where it melts and adds flavour
