Quartirolo Lombardo cheese is a soft Italian cow’s-milk cheese protected by a regional designation of origin. It comes from Lombardy and is sold both fresh and aged, with the two styles differing in texture and strength of flavor.
Quartirolo Lombardo cheese has a fresh, gently tangy, milky flavor. Younger cheese is delicate and moist, while aged versions tend to taste sharper and feel firmer, so the flavor changes with maturity.
Quartirolo Lombardo cheese is typically milder and more tangy, while Taleggio is known for its washed rind and stronger aroma. Both are Lombard cheeses made from cow’s milk, but they have distinct textures and flavor profiles.
Quartirolo Lombardo cheese is often served on its own or as part of a cheese board. Its tangy, creamy character works well with bread, fresh fruit, salads, and simple vegetable dishes.
Yes, the rind of Quartirolo Lombardo cheese is generally edible when it is clean and in good condition. Fresh versions may have little noticeable rind, while an aged piece can have a more developed outer layer.
Quartirolo Lombardo cheese softens and melts when heated, but it does not stretch like mozzarella. Use it in baked dishes, vegetable fillings, or on top of a hot meal, and expect a creamy rather than stringy result.
Keep Quartirolo Lombardo cheese refrigerated and wrapped so it does not dry out or absorb other food odors. After cutting a piece, wrap the remainder again and use a clean knife each time.
Quartirolo Lombardo cheese can be frozen, but freezing may make its soft texture crumbly or watery after thawing. It is best to use thawed cheese in cooked dishes rather than serve it plain.
Stracchino or crescenza are good alternatives to Quartirolo Lombardo cheese because they are also soft, mild, and slightly tangy. If neither is available, choose a fresh, soft cow’s-milk cheese suited to the recipe.
Yes, Quartirolo Lombardo cheese can contain lactose. Aging may reduce the amount, but the cheese should not be assumed to be lactose-free; people with lactose intolerance should consider their own tolerance.

Quartirolo Lombardo cheese is a soft cow’s-milk cheese from Lombardy in northern Italy. It is moist and gently tangy when young; with further ageing, it develops a stronger flavour and a more crumbly texture.
In its home region it is enjoyed as a table cheese and in salads. Elsewhere, it works well on a cheeseboard or with tomatoes, crusty bread and fresh greens. It provides 21 g of protein per 100 g, alongside a notable amount of fat, so a modest portion can be satisfying. Pair it with vegetables or fruit for a balanced, lighter plate.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
