Datterino Blue

This small blue-veined cheese, made from cow milk, has a connotation tending towards sweet. It is stuffed on the inside with date paste and date syrup, on the outside it is also refined with date syrup and then whole or diced dates are placed on top. Obviously, the name Datterino, is due to this extravagant combination, with this ingredient characterising it, making it special and unique when tasted.

Usually, dates are only eaten at Christmas time, but we wanted to use this dried fruit, especially for the many beneficial (antioxidant and anti-inflammatory) and nutritious properties it contains, starting with simple sugars, fibre, and vitamins such as potassium and magnesium. Moreover, the combination and taste makes it very interesting and pleasant.

On the palate, it develops a whole series of opposite sensations, but which all in all balance each other out. The lactic and especially animal perception is interesting and remains well persistent in the mouth, even after swallowing the cheese.

The rind, although dark, is edible, but we always recommend being careful when cutting it, so make well-proportioned portions, quantities between cheese and dates, so as not to unbalance the product.
