Thorani

Thorani is a term that refers to a type of cheese produced in the Tyrolean region of Austria and Northern Italy. The name "Thorani" is derived from the Italian word "torrone," which means "honeycomb," reflecting the cheese's distinctive texture. In Hebrew, it can be translated as גבינת תורני (G'vinat Thorani). This semi-hard cheese is made from cow's milk and is known for its slightly sweet, nutty flavor and smooth, creamy texture. It is often used in both cooking and as a table cheese. Thorani is typically aged for several months, which enhances its rich, complex flavor profile. The cheese is also notable for its versatility, as it can be enjoyed on its own, melted in dishes, or incorporated into various recipes. In German, it is known as Thorani-Käse, and in Italian, it is referred to as formaggio Thorani.
