Bra Duro DOP

Bra duro is a hard, aged cow's milk cheese from Italy's Piedmont region, named for the town of Bra. Aged for at least 180 days, it has a hard, rugged rind and a strong, nutty, and slightly spicy flavor that develops with age. The cheese is excellent for grating over pasta, serving with fruit mostarda, or enjoying with red wine.  Pair with fruit mostarda, hazelnuts, or on a cheese platter.  Enjoy with full-bodied red wines like Barbera or Valpolicella.
