The Story

Deep in Italy's Dolomite region, Producers apply the "Ancient Laws of the Dairyman's Art" to produce a cheese worthy of its DOP status. Milk is locally produced and uses local whey starter cultures before traditional animal rennet is applied. The curd is cooked and moulded; then brined. The cheeses are then cellar aged while being brushed, washed and turned. Older specimens resemble a young, sweet, Parmigiano.
