| Bianchina |
 Bianchina is the newest delicacy produced by the Nicolau Farms. This mixed-milk cheese, named after one of the dairy's beloved goats, is made following the traditional cheese making process, using only natural goat rennet. Each wheel of Bianchina is made from a blend of goat's and cow's milk, the ratio changing depending on the season. The cheese is aged for about 10 days and, thanks to the addition of a special mixture of geotrichum and penicilium candidum, its rind develops a white, pillowy surface. Both the cheese rind and interior paste are stark white, which is a clear indicator that this artisanal cheese is very young and fresh. Bianchina is a creamy cheese, especially under the rind and it becomes denser toward the center. Bianchina has the classic buttery flavor of jersey cow’s milk, enriched by the typical bright and grassy notes of goat's milk.
