Why it’s so delicious?
Kudos to one of Italy's oldest cheeses, Castelmagno!
Rediscovered in recent years by chefs and gourmets around the world, Valle Grana cheese was reduced to local use by shepherds and people in the austere Piedmont valley.
Made from cow's, goat's and sheep's milk, it was the typical high mountain pasture cheese. There the shepherds used all their produce and, in most cases, the cheeses were trilatte. Today Castelmagno is a prestigious PDO and, thanks in part to Slow Food, its value and centrality in Piedmontese cuisine has been redefined and regained.
Its texture is definitely unique in that it is particularly crumbly and granular. You can feel it on the palate but also when you want to cut it.
When particularly seasoned, it is impossible for a slice of Castelmagno to remain intact, so much so that people prefer to flake it to better appreciate its flavor.
The shepherds and people of the Grana Valley know that over time, Castelmagno DOP naturally produces a marbling in the heart of the cheese, and this evolution makes it particularly prestigious and unique. It increases its degree of flavor intensity and complexity of taste.
The Castelmagno we offer is produced by Beppino Occelli, a man who has dedicated his entire life to the casera.
