Spring (soft cheese "Pavasaris")
Pavasaris is a soft, cow’s milk white-mould cheese matured for 28–35 days. Before maturation, it is coated with dried herbs, which become entwined with the white mould as the cheese matures, giving it a fresh, spring-like finish.

| Additional information |
Spring (Pavasaris) is part of a seasonal range of white-mould cheeses. Vasara (Summer), coated with turmeric, has a fuller, more mature finish and pairs particularly well with berries or tomatoes. Rudens (Autumn), enriched with paprika, is an excellent match for heather honey or nuts. These soft cow’s milk cheeses are matured for just under a month and become pleasantly supple over time. |
