Prima Donna

Prima Donna is a Dutch parmesan-style cheese made from pasteurized or raw cow's milk. Underneath the natural rind, the texture is firm, crystalline, grainy, and crumbly. The flavors are full, sweet, and nutty. This cheese is aged until it reaches the pinnacle of flavor, meaning that it's not aged for a set period of time, but until it develops a particular flavor profile.

Those stages are classified as fino, maturo, forte, and leggero. It's recommended to pair Prima Donna with Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Syrah, or Cabernet Sauvignon.
