Galbanino is a mild cow's milk cheese from Italy, sold under the Galbani brand. It is a pasta filata cheese, which means the curd is stretched until it becomes smooth and elastic. The taste is sweet and gentle, and the paste is soft enough to slice yet firm enough to hold a shape. A wax coat covers the outside, and that coat is not eaten. The cheese is an everyday kitchen cheese in Italy, not a long-aged wheel from one valley.
