The cheese is a light- to straw-colored yellow, furnished with broken and slotted holes. The consistency in the palate is compact but still smooth and lightly crumbly. The cheese’s aroma is milky, nutty and contains light notes of pistachio. Additionally the taste is dominated by a pleasant spicy flavor.
