Region: Piemonte
Milk: Mixed
Definition: Fresh, soft cheese.
Raw material: Whole cows' milk with small quantities of ewes' or goats' milk.
Characteristics: Cylindrical form with flat faces of 15-25 cm in diameter, slightly convex sides varying in height between 2 and 4 cm. The cheese is soft, compact and rubbery, varying in colour from white to straw-yellow, with fissures that are irregular in size and distribution. In the very mature variety the cheese becomes creamier. Sometimes the cheese has no rind; if there is one, it is coarse and brown in colour. Average weight is 0.3-1 kg.
Production area: Alta Valle Tanaro (Cuneo).
Production technique: The raw milk is heated to around 38°C, adding liquid rennet. After coagulation, the curds are broken, extracted and left to stand at about 25°C for several hours. They are salted in brine. The cheese is ripened for 10-20 days, at a temperature of 5°C. Yield 15%.
Maturing: 10-20 days; optional.
Market place and sale: At one time, it was sold in the whole of Cuneo, but today it can be found in the areas of Pamparato and Garessio, in very limited quantities.
