Puzzone di Moena PDO
Puzzone di Moena is characterised by a robust, intense, slightly salty and pleasantly sharp flavour with a distinctive bitterish aftertaste. Its name, which can translate simply as “smelly”, derives from its intense and penetrating aroma created by daily "sponging" with warm brine throughout the ageing process. Cheeses like these are known as “washed rind” and take on a colour that can span from yellow ochre to light brown or reddish.
