Sora

Sora is an Italian cheese originating from Piedmont. It is made with sheep's, goat's, and cow's milk. Sora's texture is soft, dense, and smooth with some eyes, while the flavors are milky and subtle with fruity, floral, or citrus notes.


The cheese is also known as the witch's cheese because some believe that it was first produced by a witch cheesemaker. The name sora means shoe, referring to the imprint of the cheesecloth in which it was pressed, as it resembles the sole on a shoe.


Sora is said to taste the best in summer, and it is recommended to use it in sauces and fondues. Pair it with dry white wines.
