Caseificio Carena describes a cheese with conspicuous eyes and a flavor in which sweetness meets a bitter edge. The lack of salting is a defining part of its production.

Caseificio Carena suggests honey, preserves, mostarda, and fruit alongside Pannerone, and also recommends using it in risotto. Try a small piece on its own first to notice the bitter finish.
