Tasting Notes | Rich Milk Flavor with Gentle Aroma

“Rindo” Plain offers the deep, concentrated umami of milk with only a mild version of the signature washed-rind aroma. The balance of savory saltiness and matured fragrance is exquisite, and the rind is completely edible.
With no overpowering funk, it’s the perfect washed cheese for beginners and connoisseurs alike.

How to Enjoy | From Simple to Gourmet

1. As Is: Cut into bite-sized pieces to experience the full depth of aged milk flavor.
2. For Hot Dishes: Melt over gratin, pizza, or toast. It turns irresistibly gooey and coats dishes like a rich, savory sauce.
