Formaggella del Bec cheese
Region: Lombardia
Milk: Goat
Raw material: Goats' milk, rennet, salt.
Characteristics: Height: 3-5 cm; sides: 10-15 cm; form: quadrangular; cheese: soft, firm, no fissures, milk-white or pale yellow colour.
Production area: Canzo, Dongo and neighbouring areas (Lago di Como).
Production technique: The raw milk is heated to 25-30 °C, adding liquid rennet. Coagulation takes 45 minutes. Once the curds have been broken (into nut-sized pieces), they are cooked at 35 °C for 15-20 minutes. They are then extracted, placed in cloths and left to drain for a few hours before being pressed into shape. The procedure is then the same as that used for other mountain-style cheeses. It ripens in 15 days, in a well-ventilated cellar.
Maturing: about 40-60 days.
