Allegretto cheese
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allegretto cheese is a type of sheep milk cheese from Quebec.
The cheese is produced by La Vache a Maillotte cheese factory in La Sarre,[1][2] in the Abitibi region of Quebec, which has a Nordic climate.[3] As a result of the cold climate, the grass in pastures has a higher sugar content which results in sweeter milk.[4] It is a pressed curd cheese made with thermalized sheep's milk. It is typically aged in 3.5 kilogram wheels for 120 days.[5] It is a semi-soft, washed-rind cheese.[3]
