Ancient gestures

It is from the past that our hands gain the experience required to produce our cheeses. And the same gestures that our ancestors developed and handed down centurys ago we, today, carefully perpetrate, hare in the Taleggio Valley. From these cares comes the quality of our products, that we want to deliver personally to our client, advising him on the proper way to preserve it.

The best example of our production is the Taleggio: a cheese well known and appreciated worldwide and it was born here, in the hands of our forefathers, in the valley wich gave him a name. The breaking of curdled milk is still made by hand, as tradition requires.

The salting of all the six faces of the cheese occurs the day after, and is intended to create a crust wich keeps inside the flavours.
The seasoning is made on wooden boards and in particular conditions until the cheese has reached full ripeness.

The cheese is brushed and turned every week in order to eliminate the mould and to allow it to be evenly seasoned.
