Pinconning cheese is a semi-hard cheese from Michigan, in the United States. It is made from cow's milk and is often compared with Colby or a mild cheddar. The paste is smooth, moist, and usually mild when the cheese is young. Longer aging makes it drier, firmer, and sharper on the palate. People in Michigan know it as a local table cheese that melts well and also suits a board.
