About Robiola
Robiola is a soft-ripened cheese from Piemonte.
The cheese is made from Cow, Sheep, and Goat milk.
Robiola is creamy and rich with a thin rind and a delightfully buttery texture.
It should be paired with a fresh and light white wine with high acidity.
Go Local
Pairing locally is a great way to learn more about wine and cheese.
Examples:
- Goat cheese from Loire is great with Sauvignon Blanc from Loire.
- Strong Italian Gorgonzola pairs perfectly with Italian Barolo.
- Spanish Manchego is gorgeous with Spanish Rioja.
- Munster from Alsace is great with Gewürztraminer from Alsace.
