Soft cheese "Spring"
"Pavasaris" cheese is a soft cow's milk white mold cheese that is matured for 28 to 35 days. Before maturing, it is sprinkled with dried herbs, which are overgrown with white mold, creating a spring-like fresh aftertaste.

| Additional information | "Pavasaris" cheese has similar white mold cheeses in other seasons – the turmeric-sprinkled Vasara, which gives a full-bodied aftertaste and goes perfectly with berries or tomatoes, and the paprika-enriched Rudens, which goes perfectly with heather honey or nuts. Both of these soft cow's milk cheeses are matured for less than a month and become pleasantly pliable over time. |
