Formaggio d’Antigorio – 250/300 gr

In Ossola, “home” refers to the valley-floor dairy, as opposed to the high-mountain pastures. Guffanti takes particular care in selecting producers with high quality standards: often, these are the same mountain farmers who, during the months of the year when they remain in the valley, devote themselves to making “home” cheeses with the same skill demonstrated in the mountain pastures, even though the raw material (i.e., milk) is different, lacking the flavors imparted by the high-mountain flora. Production in the Antigorio Valley, one of the Ossola valleys, is important, where traditional production has been revived in recent years.
