Salva (cheese)
Salva is a type of cheese originating from Italy. It is a semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk, and is known for its unique flavor and texture.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of Salva cheese dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was first produced in the Lombardy region of Italy. The cheese was traditionally made by farmers during the winter months, when milk production was low. The name "Salva" comes from the Italian word "salvare", which means "to save". This is because the cheese was made to "save" the milk that would otherwise go to waste during the winter.
Production[edit | edit source]
Salva cheese is made from cow's milk, which is heated and then curdled using rennet. The curd is then cut into small pieces and heated again. After this, the curd is placed into molds and pressed to remove the whey. The cheese is then aged for a minimum of two months, but can be aged for up to a year for a stronger flavor.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Salva cheese has a semi-hard texture and a pale yellow color. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of nuttiness. The cheese is often used in cooking, as it melts well and adds a rich flavor to dishes. It can also be eaten on its own, or paired with fruits and wines.
