Mezzo Secco
American Cheese Society Judging & Competition Awards - 1st Place
2001
Mezzo Secco is a cheese produced by Vella Cheese Company. It is a partially dry Jack cheese, aged longer than fresh Jack but not as long as aged dry Jack, striking a balance in texture and moisture content. The cheese offers a creamy yet crumbly texture and a slightly nutty flavor with a tangy finish.
It is often used in dishes where a semi-hard cheese is desired, providing a rich and nuanced taste that enhances culinary creations. Mezzo Secco's unique aging process gives it a distinctive quality that appeals to a variety of palettes.
