This mild cow's milk cheese comes in a terracotta crock. When this cheese is ripe, it is extremely soft. The crock provides not only protection, but serves as a container into which you can dip your bread.
When young, the cheese has a milky flavor with hints of yeast and hay. When ripe, it becomes the consistency of pudding and develops more complex, mushroom-like flavors.
