In the line of parallelepipedal-shaped cheeses with a square base and washed rind of cow’s milk, each aged with different ingredients and techniques, this is the third born in fact is the three of diamonds.

The processing of this cheese consists in repeatedly washing the rind with a mixture of turmeric and fresh ginger, this treatment gives the cheese a saffron yellow color and a slight freshness and pungency, given precisely by the root of fresh ginger. A “fashionable” cheese, that is, using two ingredients whose properties have recently been widely used for healthy cooking, we wanted to try to propose our own recipe, which usually meets with great favor of those who love these two ingredients … but not only.
