Marzolino is a compact sheep’s milk cheese traditionally produced in spring. It has a firm but not hard texture, with a fresh, slightly aromatic flavor and a subtle vegetal note. It is not creamy. It is not long-aged. It is not neutral. It is a seasonal cheese, tied to the natural cycle of milk and pastures. It is eaten young, often sliced, sometimes accompanied by simple bread or vegetables. It is not a cheese for the end of a meal. It is a cheese meant for the meal itself.
