Horseback cheese is a semi-hard, fibrous, full-fat milk cheese with a thin, smooth, straw-colored rind and a dense, porous texture. As it matures, its flavor evolves from a delicate sweetness in the early stages to a rich, spicy aroma in the later stages. Its easy-to-melt nature makes it ideal as a base for hot dishes or as a garnish in thin slices, providing a full-bodied, creamy flavor.
