Bastardo – Castellan semi-mature cheese

Bastardo – a medium-aged cheese with a full flavour

It was born alongside Morlacco and owes its name to its uncertain origins in cheesemaking: a straightforward name for a no-frills cheese.

It is a full-fat, semi-hard cheese made from Italian pasteurised cow’s milk and matured for at least 90 days. The rind is hard and smooth, a deep straw yellow; the paste, compact and pale straw-coloured, has small to medium eyes, unevenly distributed. On the nose it is sweet and savoury, and the aroma becomes more intense as it matures. On the palate the flavour is full and pleasant, with notes of cooked dairy, herbaceous and animal notes.

💡 How to enjoy it:
✔ On a cheese board
✔ With rustic bread and mostarda (Italian candied fruit in mustard syrup) or fruit jam
✔ With polenta
