Bruschetta Fresh Cheese 100g - Herb & Sun-Dried Tomato Coating | 100% Tochigi Milk

Looking for an appetizer that needs no cooking? Tired of plain cheese? Want something colorful that pairs perfectly with wine?

Meet “Bruschetta” – the new fresh cheese from Ohtawara Cheese Station. Inspired by Italian bruschetta, it’s ready to slice and serve. No seasoning needed, it’s a complete dish on its own.


Tasting Notes | Smooth, Moist & Aromatic – A Feast in One Bite

The beauty of Bruschetta lies in the harmony between the cheese and its coating.

Texture:

Incredibly smooth, moist and creamy. Made only with fresh Tochigi raw milk and salt, it melts softly on the tongue with a gentle milky sweetness.

Aroma & Flavor:

Coated in a fragrant mix of basil, herbs, sun-dried tomato and a hint of garlic. Each bite releases layers of flavor – the umami of milk, the sweet acidity of tomato, and the fresh aroma of herbs.

Presence:

Fully seasoned and ready to eat. Even on its own, it has a strong, satisfying presence as a main appetizer.


How to Enjoy | 4 Ways – From Chef's Recommendation

As It Is – The Star Appetizer:

Simply slice it thick. The herbs and tomato are already balanced, so it shines without anything else. Perfect with wine or sake.

Maker's Recommendation – With Light, Fruity Wine:

Pair with a light, fruity wine – Sauvignon Blanc, unoaked Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, or a chilled Lambrusco. The fruitiness lifts the herbs and lets you taste every ingredient: cheese, tomato, basil and garlic, one by one.

On Toasted Bread – True Bruschetta Style:

Place on lightly toasted baguette or campaigne. The herb-infused oil melts into the bread for an authentic Italian-style bruschetta. Great for breakfast or brunch.

With Japanese Sake:

Because it’s a delicate fresh cheese with low salt, it pairs beautifully with chilled Junmai Ginjo or sake with bright acidity. The herbs don't clash – they cleanse the palate.


Craftsmanship | 100% Tochigi Milk – Our Promise at Ohtawara Cheese Station

At Ohtawara Cheese Station, we use only 100% fresh raw milk from cows raised in the rich nature of Tochigi, Japan.

For Bruschetta, we keep it simple: only raw milk and salt for the cheese itself, to protect its moist, fresh texture. Then we carefully coat it by hand with a house-blended herb mix and sun-dried tomatoes.
No synthetic additives. We prioritize freshness above all, keeping the time from production to shipping as short as possible to deliver the aroma and color at its peak.

Please note: This product is not vacuum-packed. Packaging may vary. Please consume soon after opening and keep refrigerated below 10°C.
