In Arezzo dialect, or rather more precisely in the Val di Chiana, to define a man as “Biscarino” is a diminutive of bisquero (or rather not very intelligent), but in this case it is also used to indicate a very playful person, one who mocks others, who likes to have fun but not with malice. This cheese was born precisely to play, we call it a cheese “fun” because it is proposed to use it in aperitifs thrown, perhaps combined with a bottle of good red and with Tuscan bread just to have fun with friends to have an aperitif in the family so it helps the banquet.

As well as being good, and therefore able to convey emotion, it gives pure fun to those who use it in this formula.
