'''Castelrosso''' is a [[pasteurized]] whole cow's milk cheese. A rare, semi-hard, ancient cheese, it comes from the [[Piedmont]] region in northeastern [[Italy]]. It is similar in appearance to [[Castelmagno]].  It has a natural thick, gray rind smattered with yellow mold, and a dry, crumbly, snowy white paste. The flavor is mild: lactic, buttery, and clean with a gentle, residual tang similar to [[Lancashire]] and other English cheddar-styles. It complements Italian condiments such as grape [[mostarda]] and chestnut honeys.  As it ages it becomes more hard but retains its crumbly characteristic.  It is made from whole cow's milk, [[rennet]], salt and milk enzymes and matured in underground cellars on silver fir shelves for about 60 days.
