Carboncino | Local Cheese From Piedmont, Italy | TasteAtlas

Carboncino

Carboncino is an Italian cheese hailing from Piedmont. It has a charcoal-coated rind that hides its silky and soft interior. The cheese is made from cow, goat, and sheep milk, resulting in a unique flavor.


When young, carboncino has a light and spongy texture, and as it matures, the interior develops a consistency that's almost liquid. The flavors are tangy and sweet. It is recommended to pair carboncino with crackers and a glass of prosecco.
