Formaggio Nostrano Gran Cistella
In Ossola, “casa” means the dairy at the bottom of the valley, as opposed to the high mountain pasture.
Guffanti pays particular attention to selecting producers with high quality standards.
Often these are the same mountain farmers who, during the months in which they remain in the valley, dedicate themselves to the production of “homemade” cheeses with the same mastery demonstrated in the mountain pastures.
Although the raw material, milk, is different and lacks the flavors transmitted by the high mountain flora, the quality remains high.
Of particular importance is the production of the Antigorio Valley, one of the Ossola valleys, where traditional raw milk processing has also been revived.
