Crescenza, also known as Stracchino, is a creamy, soft-ripened Italian cheese originating from the Lombardy region. Made from cow’s milk, it boasts a mild, tangy flavor and smooth texture that melts effortlessly. Crescenza is traditionally enjoyed fresh, often spread on bread, used in pasta dishes, or paired with roasted vegetables. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and bone strength. However, like many cheeses, it is relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key. Its delicate profile makes it a versatile addition to a Mediterranean-style diet, promoting a balance of indulgence and nutrition when consumed thoughtfully.
