Bel Paese, meaning ‘beautiful country’ in Italian, is a semi-soft cheese from the Lombardy region. It was formulated by Egidio Galbani in 1906 who wanted to invent a product that would compete with French Alpine cheeses. The name is derived from a book by Abbot Antonio Stoppani "Il Bel Paese", published in 1873.

Pont-l’Évêque is a fantastic substitute for Taleggio cheese , as it’s a really popular cheese from France with a milder pungent smell. I’ll tell you all about its unique flavor and texture, as well as some of the best ways to enjoy it. What Is Bel Paese Cheese?Cheesy Tomato Orzo - Mozzarella adds a gooey melted-cheese finish to this delicious and rich orzo dish with tomatoes, bacon and spinach.

If you’re looking for a cheese similar to mozzarella to be used not on a pizza but in entrées or even on its own, burrata is a perfect choice. The production of mozzarella begins by leaving the buffalo milk to rest and then heating it the next day until it coagulates. The curd is then cut into small pieces , and these small pieces are left to rest for a few hours, to promote a richer texture and flavor. Flavor: The cheese offers a delicate, mildly sweet and buttery taste. A hint of nuttiness can be detected in its flavor profile. Cotija cheese is a Mexican cheese that can be easily crumbled and enjoyed in a salad. Similar in flavor to parmesan cheese, Cotija will give the dish more flavor than mozzarella. Popular Uses For Mozzarella Provolone, being semi-hard, can be a good substitute for mozzarella cheese in those recipes that call for low-moisture mozzarella , like pizza or lasagne. 2. ScamorzaThere is another type of mozzarella, a low-moisture one, with a denser texture and a less mild flavor than regular mozzarella. This type of cheese melts really well and, unlike regular mozzarella, releases little to no water, making it perfect for cooking and the number one choice for pizza toppings. Limburger is particularly well known for its strong smell , so this works really well if you love the tangy smell of Taleggio and you’re looking for something with a similar aroma. Storage: Bel Paese should be refrigerated and consumed within a few days of opening for the best taste.

If you choose to use this cheese, remember that it’s better to store it in the refrigerator unwrapped in its crust, or wrapped in paper. 6. GruyereProvolone is another Italian cheese with a mild to sharp flavor depending on its aging, and can replace Bel Paese in many dishes. Let drain for 6-7 hours, turning hourly. This cheese does not need a cheese press and forms using its own weight. One of Italy's most celebrated holidays is 25 April, the Festa della Liberazione, or Liberation Day. One of the most interesting facts about Bel Paese cheese is that it is a protected geographical indication (PGI) product. Provolone is another good replacement for Fontina cheese, thanks to its good melting properties. However, their flavors differ, with Fontina being nutty and earthy and Provolone ranging from mild to sharp.
