Produced in the area of Biella,
Mortarat gets its name from “mortaio” (mortar) in which the spices/herbs are
weighed. It comes from a large family of cheeses, who owe their flavor to
the aromatic spices and herbs that they are filled with and covered in. The
Ciambella alla paprika is similar to other types of Mortarat, such as
Maccagnetta alle erbe.
In the case of the Ciambella, the cheese is flavored and made special by a
mixture of aromatic herbs, paprika and cereal flakes, that completely cover
the exterior. It is for this reason, that to fully appreciate the flavor of
this cheese, it is advisable to eat the rind.
