Semi-Cured Cheeses

Our semi-cured cheeses achieve a medium intensity, characterized by a perfect balance of flavor, acidity, and secondary aromas. The result is a selection of cheeses with distinct personality that remains approachable and is never overpowering.

Texture varies between soft and semi-soft depending on the type. Soft cheeses have a creamy, melt-in-the-mouth quality, ideal for those seeking a buttery sensation. Semi-soft cheeses are more flexible and elastic, retain moisture, and have an enveloping texture that makes them easier to cut or spread.

The rinds of De Hualdo semi-cured cheeses are either washed or mold-ripened. Washed rinds are regularly treated with solutions such as brine or extra virgin olive oil. This process encourages the development of beneficial bacteria, which impart toasted, savory, or spicy aromas.

Mold-ripened rinds develop naturally during the aging process. This velvety layer adds floral, earthy, and vegetal notes while contributing to an even creamier texture.
