Went to Eataly for some panettone shopping, and got distracted by this beautiful washed rind in the cheese section. The one they had on display (p5) was actually severely dried out and ammonia-ized (cheese guy’s words, which I somehow immediately understood), so he said he can’t sell that to me and cut open the wheel underneath. It turned out perfect! Golden, fudgy (see all the air bubbles), becoming silky and meaty as it warms. Reminds me of taleggio but is milder and creamier, less salty, with a thinner rind and suppler interior.
Ended up eating all the 1/4 cut myself last night with sourdough and strawberry jam, and I do not regret 😉
