Named for the tiny Swiss village where the Fiscalini family lived for over 300 years, Lionza is a raw cow’s milk cheese modeled after traditional Alpine styles. Made in California and aged a minimum of 6 months, this semi-soft wheel offers a springy texture with the occasional eye, a natural rind, and deeply layered aromas.
