Don Carlo is an Italian cheese made from the raw milk of Bruna Alpina cows. This cheese is semi-hard, and it matures for several months, resulting in a rich, complex flavor profile. It has a smooth, creamy texture with a slightly nutty taste, complemented by hints of butter and grass.

The aging process also imparts a mild spiciness to the cheese, making it a versatile option for pairing with a variety of foods, especially cured meats, fruits, and wines. Don Carlo is known for its natural rind and is often enjoyed as a table cheese or grated over dishes.
