Its sweet, penetrating aroma intensifies as it ripens. It is available in Fresco, Mezzano, Vecchio, Vecchio Selezione Oro and Vecchio Riserva forms. The rind is soft and light in Fresco form, the cheese thickens as it ages and hardens with a color that tends to an ocher colour. The cheese is compact and has no pores.
