This is a very special cheese, straddling the “witty” cheeses, i.e. those treated with spirits and the “quadri” line (parallelepipedal cheeses with a square base and washed rind of cow’s milk, each aged with different ingredients and techniques), since we add sambuca and coffee to a rind cheese washed with water and salt.

The name comes precisely from putting the coffee bean in the sambuca (fly), so this repeated treatment in the rind makes the cheese acquire very special aromatic notes, since the anise emerges and the slight acidic and alcoholic note together with the bitter where the coffee bean is located.

Absolutely a cheese to try, given its complexity in describing it, a cheese that was not there, a creation given by the imagination and inspiration of the master refiner.

The rind is edible.
