Raw-milk alpine cheeses from the Val d'Ossola: intense flavours, cave-aged varieties and authentic mountain tradition.
The Val d'Ossola, in the Piedmontese valleys bordering Switzerland, has been a great cheesemaking territory for centuries. High-altitude pastures give the milk — and therefore the cheeses — an unmistakable aromatic profile. Here is our selection of raw-milk alpine cheeses.
Vaca Straca
Raw cow's milk cheese aged in the cave of San Lucio. Constant temperature 5–10°C, humidity 87–95% and fresh mountain air: creamy heart and excellent depth of flavour.
Pizzo Tre Signori
Raw cow's milk cheese named after the mountain on the Orobie Alps ridge. Rich milky flavour and unique aromatic intensity.
Toma Alpeggio Vigezzo
Raw cow's milk alpine cheese from the Vigezzo valley in Val d'Ossola. Soft, elastic paste of deep yellow colour with classic eyes. Pleasantly spicy finish.
Toma Fiore d'Alpe
Raw cow's milk cheese from the Valsesia. Rich bouquet of scents and aromas thanks to the addition of alpine herbs. Aromatic and delicate flavour.
Toma Alpeggio Vigezzo Misto Vacca/Capra
Raw cow and goat (40%) milk alpine cheese. Soft, elastic straw-yellow paste. Intense spicy finish enhanced by the goat milk.
Taleggio DOP a Pasta Cruda
Raw cow's milk cheese with soft, creamy paste, thin wrinkled rind. Full flavour with aromatic notes.
