It is produced in two versions: a sweet one, with a more delicate flavor, with a soft paste that melts in the mouth and a modest presence of mold, and a version with a decidedly more intense flavor, with a more consistent and mold-rich paste. It can be eaten as it is, often served in combination with figs or celery, but in the kitchen it finds many other uses.
