Roccaverano DOP – 300 gr
Until 2023, in the area surrounding the Piedmontese municipality of Roccaverano, in the Langhe region, a dairy-produced robiola made from a blend of goat’s milk (minimum 50%), sheep’s milk, and cow’s milk was also produced. This was the only version available during the winter months, when goats almost cease producing milk. This version was accepted by the regulations and accompanied the more traditional 100% goat’s milk version, although both held the DOP designation. Since 2023, the DOP designation has been permitted only for the “Roccaverano DOP” (100% goat’s milk). It can also be consumed fresh, but its flavor is enhanced by aging, which can exceed a month.
