Bel Paese
[ BELL pah-AY-zay ]
Translated as "beautiful country," this popular semisoft Italian
CHEESE has a mild, buttery flavor that is delicious with fruity wines. Though originally and still made in a small town outside Milan, Bel Paese is now also produced in the United States. It can be served as a dessert
CHEESE or for snacks and melts beautifully for use in casseroles or on pizza. See also
