Prescinsêua 2,5kg

Few people know this cheese but when they taste it, they can't live without it!

Prescinsêua is a typical fresh cheese from Genoa that is used in many local recipes: it can also be eaten as it is, seasoned or spread, but its major use is as an ingredient, usually for fillings and stuffing in savoury pies (e.g. pasqualina and other vegetable pies) and ravioli (in our Ligurian case, especially pansoti). This is because the flavour is acidulous but delicate and balances the other flavours well, blending them together; the consistency is soft and spreadable. For all these qualities, prescinsêua has in recent years been considered by chefs in Genoa as an ingredient that is not only salty but also suitable for sweet recipes such as cheesecake.
