About the product

$6.35/100 gr

This is the alter ego of ‘Bitto’ cheese, produced mainly in the autumn, winter and spring months, and is made exclusively on the alpine pastures. Like Bitto, it was awarded denomination of protected origin (DOP) status in 1995. It can be ripened with excellent results but it is often preferred fresh on its own or as an ingredient of traditional Valtellina recipes.

This is a pre-order cheese and waiting period to receive it is approximately 2 weeks.
