Q

CHEESE COURSE

TALLEGIO

A
  • Cow milk
  • Way up in the mountainous caves around Val Taleggio, Taleggio is made every autumn and winter using pasteurized cow’s milk from the alpine pastures. The cheese is matured in caves and washed once a week with seawater to control the surface bacteria. This washing of the rind is what gives Taleggio its pungent smell, but the cheese itself is actually very mild, with a distinctive fruity tang which makes it good in salads or melted into risotto or polenta. (6-10 weeks)
  • Will be served with local honey

41
Q

CHEESE COURSE

BITTO

A
  • Cow and goat milk
  • A signature cheese of the Valtellina Valley, Bitto is named after the nearby Bitto River. Bitto is only produced in the summer – when grass appears on the alpine meadows of altellina, farmers let their cow’s out to feed and use the milk to make Bitto. a semi-hard or hard cheese, sold after it has been aged anywhere from 40 days to 3 years. The ancient production technique of this iconic Lombardian cheese dates back to the Celts, who were expert shepherds and dairymen. Having been forced off the plains by the Romans, they found refuge in the mountainous region of Valtellina. Bitto is made from cow’s milk with the addition of 10-20% of goat’s milk. Young bitto is called giovane and it is soft in texture, white in color, and has a sweet flavor, similar to Gruyère. As it ages, it gets crumbly and small white dots appear on the rind. After a
    year of aging, it turns yellowish, has quite a sharper taste, and is typically used for grating. Thanks to its unique feature of long-term preservation, if conserved and matured well, the best Bitto cheeses can be kept for over 10 years
  • Served with Yolan Balsamico

Q

GRANA PADANO

It is produced throughout the Po Valley This hard cheese is made from unpasteurized, semi-skimmed cow’s milk and it is available in these varieties: Grana Padano, Trentin Grana, and Grana Grattugiato. It is sold at different ripening stages: Grana Padano (9-16 months), Grana Padano Oltre 16 mesi (over 16 months) and Grana Padano Riserva (over 20 months).

    the region of Lombardy. Semolina is commonly produced
