Once known as Tuma or Robiola, Murazzano is a fat, soft cheese made with sheep’s milk. It is traditionally produced in the Piedmont province of Cuneo, namely the lush rolling hills of Langhe, a UNESCO World Heritage site nestled along the Tanaro River.
Fresh Murazzano exudes a delicate aroma of sheep's milk and has a mild taste, while more aged cheese tends to become stronger and more piquant. This table cheese is typically enjoyed as an appetizer, often used for
Focaccia filling or for preparing the so-called
Brus di Murazzano, a type of fermented cheese spread eaten with toasted bread or hot polenta.
