Prima Donna

Over 10% Off with Kilo Purchases

Quick Overview:

Firm and slightly oily, a bit of salt in the finish. The only cheese that approaches Parmigiano Reggiano in sales.

Quick Facts

Country of Origin: Holland
Milk Type/Treatment: Pasteurized Cow
Rennet Type: Traditional calf rennet

The Flavor Experience

The inspiration for Prima Donna was to create a hybrid of Parmigiano Reggiano and Gouda, and they seem to have found a pretty good balance between the two.

The Story

This is essentially Gouda made with starter cultures that are typically used in northern Italy.  These cultures result in a sweeter cheese than you would typically find in Holland.

Usage Tips

Pair with most beers or red wines.  We love it with Black Lava Cashews or Cinnful Cocoa Pecans.

Straight From the Monger's Mouth
"The fact that this cheese rivals Parmigiano Reggiano in sales, in an Italian cheese shop, is about all you have to say to speak to its popularity. It has been one of our most popular cheeses since we introduced it a decade ago." – Hunter F.,

    Even though the cheese arrived slightly melted, it firmed up ok in the fridge (with some pockets of oil). I would totally buy this again. Super tasty.

  8. A classic favorite

    This is the first cheese I ever tried from DiBruno's and it's been a consistent favorite of mine and my family's over the years. Excellent addition to a cheese plate, especially paired with black lava cashews or a little fig jam.

  9. Addictive!

    Warning: this cheese is addictive! The blend of parmegiano reggiano and gouda makes it irresistible!
