Vivace Bambino is a medium firm cheese that is similar in taste to Swiss Emmental. It can be used in fondues, quiche and frittata. Although it is a good melting and cooking cheese, it is also delicious in cold sandwiches like ham or roast beef.
Recipes for Vivace Bambino-
Fondue

This recipe uses both Emmental and Gruyere cheese. Substitute the Vivace Bambino for the Emmental. If you can’t find Gruyere, you can substitute Jarlsberg or even Swiss cheese, but these are generally less soft and less nutty than Gruyere and will result in a more mild fondue.
Serve fondue with crusty bread and vegetables.
Quiche

This is a pretty standard quiche recipe. Feel free to add other vegetables, herbs, or even bacon if you’re feeling carnivorous.
Wine Pairings- Beaujolais, Riesling, Chardonnay
Dutch Farmstead is softer and slightly more pungent than the Vivace Bambino. The Cato Corners website says it’s similar to Gouda, but it’s probably more robust than your run-of-the-mill Gouda. Try it melted in your morning scrambled eggs, or in a sandwich with sliced apples and ham.
