Accasciato

Accasciato is a semi-hard Italian cheese made from sheep’s milk or a combination of sheep’s and cow’s milk. It has a firm texture and a fresh aroma, while its flavor is best described as sweet. Although it can be consumed fresh, the cheese is typically matured anywhere from 40 to 60 days.

During the maturation period, it develops a soft, pale yellow rind. Accasciato is known as slumped cheese because it crumbles once it gets removed from the molds.
