Castelmagno DOP Mountain Product – 200g

It is produced only in a small area of ​​the Grana Valley, encompassing the three municipalities of Castelmagno, Pradleves, and Monterosso Grana. The DOC designation dates back to 1982, and the DOP recognition was granted in 1996. Attempts to imitate it in the surrounding villages and valleys are countless, often with names that in one way or another resemble “Castelmagno.” Unfortunately, the current trend is to market it very young and unveiled, but only with proper aging for at least six months can this great cheese fully reveal its characteristics.
