Squacquerone is an Italian cheese soft and crumbly type, originally from Romagna.

Description

[edit]

Squacquerone is a cow's milk cheese, made from whole milk, with a very short maturation. It is similar to crescenza, although the paste (white in color) is less consistent due to the high water content.[2] It is made of pasteurized or raw milk, and is extremely soft, creamy, and spreadable. The color is ivory white and the taste notes are typically lactic, with a sweet-sour taste.[1] It is one of the main products with which piadina is stuffed.[1]

In addition to the common squacquerone, the Squacquerone di Romagna PDO is widespread, produced only in the designated area and in compliance with the relative regulations.[1]

Etymology

[edit]

The etymology, of Romagna origin, refers to the consistency that squaglia ("melts") due to the high presence of water.[3]
