What goes with Crescenza?
Crescenza is a fresh cow milk cheese with a moist, rindless body that yields easily to a spoon. Its flavour is primarily sweet milk with a gentle tang and restrained salt. The soft paste can spread across hot bread or pasta, but it does not behave like a firm slicing cheese or develop long mozzarella strands.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Crescenza?
Crescenza works particularly well with browned bread, cooked greens and ripe tomato because each gives definition to its soft milky centre. A bitter leaf or a little pepper provides contrast without requiring a sharp dressing. Build dishes around differences in texture, keeping a crisp surface or a firm vegetable alongside the cheese's generous moisture.
