The Rustico Red Pepper Wheel is the "firecracker" of the dairy case. This semi-soft cheese takes the creamy, buttery base of a young Italian cheese and infuses it with a generous helping of crushed red chili flakes. It provides a beautiful visual pop with its red-speckled paste and offers a warming heat that lingers pleasantly. It is the best "conversation starter" cheese for a spicy-food lover. It’s fun, vibrant, and has just enough "kick" to keep things interesting without being punishing. This is the cheese that turns a standard platter into a vibrant, high-energy party spread. The Recipes Recipe #1: Spicy Red Pepper Quesadillas Use shredded Rustico Red Pepper inside a tortilla with grilled chicken and onions. The cheese melts beautifully, providing a built-in spicy sauce. A zesty family lunch in under 10 minutes. Recipe #2: Red Pepper Cheese Cornbread Fold cubes of the cheese into your favorite cornbread batter. As it bakes, you get molten pockets of spicy, buttery goodness. A perfect side dish for a family chili night. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: "Fire & Ice" Bites Pair a wedge of Rustico Red Pepper with a cold, sweet grape. The contrast between the spicy pepper and the cold fruit is a perfectly balanced party appetizer. Appetizer #2: Spicy Cheese & Salami Cups Place a small square of the cheese on a slice of Napoli Salami and fold it into a cup. A bold, high-protein snack that packs a massive flavor punch for friends. Ingredients: Pasteurized Sheep’s Milk, Rennet, Salt, Red Pepper. Calf Rennet. Size: 3 lb. Origin: Product of Italy
