Impromptu

Impromptu is an American cheese hailing from California, where it's produced by Andante Dairy. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow's or goat's milk, and it's aged from 6 weeks to 2 years. Underneath its natural rind, the texture is hard and firm.

The aromas are powerful, while the flavors are smooth and nutty, with hints of butterscotch. It's recommended to pair Impromptu with a glass of fruity red wine or white Burgundy. This seasonal cheese is only produced in spring and winter, and its musically-inspired name Impromptu is the brainchild of Soyoung Scanlan, a Korean-born pianist who's a respected artisan cheese maker and the owner of Andante Dairy.
