"This cheese makes me think of Italy," our friend Ann said. I understand her point. Robiola is not one of the spectacular cheeses that is brought out on special occasions. It is a cheese for every day.
In short Robiola is Italian cream cheese. Soft, spreadable and a little bland, it is a good cheese for breakfast to spread on a croissant and have beside your cappucino. There are different producers of Robiola and the one I found was definitely a commercial cheese factory turning out a lesser quality cheese. There are suppsoedly better examples out there.
It is not a great cheese but if you've breakfasted in Italy a few times it may bring back memories.
