Hand-crafted small batch Wisconsin cheese. Batched in rich cocoa & espresso. An awakening of sweet & savory flavors. Aged a minimum of 5 months. Eat the rind - it's divine! The best way to eat Artigiano is with the rind. This is where the cocoa and espresso soak into the cheese and creates a distinctive flavor throughout. The white dots on the rind are calcium crystals - a sign of properly aged cheese. They add some pleasant crunchiness to the firm, crumbly texture.
