The best Italian and international cheeses

The dialect name means “mountain cheese”: it is produced in 22 municipalities in the upper Brembana Valley, bordering Valtellina. It is consumed fresh and aged: the mountain version (easily recognizable by the blue ink marking on the face, while the dairy version is red) reaches its peak after about six months of aging.
