BelGioioso Crescenza-Stracchino is a fresh, rindless Italian-style cheese made in small batches from whole cow's milk gathered daily from local Wisconsin farmers. This soft, creamy cheese offers a milky, slightly tart flavor with a tender, spreadable texture. When allowed to age, it develops a pleasant tanginess and creamy softness that becomes addictively delicious.

This award-winning cheese has earned multiple accolades including 1st Place Best of Class at the American Cheese Society (2025, 2023, 2022) and 1st Place Best of Class at the World Championship Cheese Contest (2024). The cheese is handcrafted in petite 3.5-pound wheels using traditional methods with delicate curds ladled into square hoops.

Perfect for spreading on plain baguettes, melting onto pizzas, flatbreads, sandwiches and burgers for a creamy tangy flavor, or baking into cheesecakes. Pairs beautifully with bread, fresh fruits like apples, peaches, apricots, grapes and berries, cured meats such as prosciutto and salame, olives, and light wines or beer. The cheese is rBST-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian.
