artisanal cheese

Artisanal cheese refers to cheese made in small batches by skilled artisans, often using traditional methods and high-quality ingredients. These cheeses are typically crafted with a focus on flavor, texture, and unique characteristics that reflect the milk’s origin, the environment, and the cheesemaker's techniques. Unlike mass-produced cheeses, artisanal varieties are often unprocessed and may incorporate local, raw, or organic ingredients. They emphasize craftsmanship and authenticity, resulting in distinctive cheeses that can vary widely in taste and style, ranging from creamy and mild to sharp and tangy. Artisanal cheeses often celebrate regional diversity and culture.
