Prima Donna

What is Prima Donna Cheese?

Prima Donna is a Dutch cheese from the Netherlands. It blends the creamy texture of Gouda with the nutty, crystalline characteristics of Italian Parmesan. Made from cow's milk, this slightly matured cheese features protein crystals and a sweet, nutty flavor, making it perfect for a cheeseboard.

Prima Donna is characterized by "little dots" or crystals that can be seen more prominently in the extra-aged varieties Maturo and Forte. 

Prima Donna comes in various varieties, namely:

• Prima Donna Fino – A young cheese with a mild, creamy flavor and subtle sweetness.
• Prima Donna Maturo – Aged longer, offering a nuttier flavor and firmer texture.
• Prima Donna Forte – More matured, with an intense, slightly sweet flavor and a crumbly texture.
• Prima Donna Leggero – A low-fat version with a tangy taste.
• Prima Donna Organic - Made from organic cow's milk, offers sweet, and nutty flavor
