Formagella Val di Scalve cheese
Formaggella della Val di Scalve is a semi-cooked cheese, produced exclusively with whole cow's milk, medium-aged, but which lends itself well to being aged. It has a round shape with a diameter of about 17-22 centimeters and a height of 4-8 centimeters. The rind is yellowish and thin, smooth and crumbly; the paste is white, soft with fine holes.
With aging, the rind darkens and the paste becomes more compact and tasty. Formaggella della Val di Scalve has the flavor of mountain pastures, although very delicate, it is pleasantly strong.
The aroma with a slight acidic vein is more intense in summer production, due to the presence of components of fresh mountain forage: it is ideal as a table cheese.
INGREDIENTS: Raw cow's MILK (produced exclusively in the Scalve Valley), rennet, salt.
Awards: In 2007 it won the silver medal, participating in the international mountain cheese Olympics in Oberstdorf.
Raw milk cheeses are the absolute excellence of the dairy world. In this case, the milk is not filtered and is not heat-treated. Raw milk cheeses are therefore extremely rich in vitamins (especially A, C and D) and proteins. Easy to digest and rich in nutritional properties. Furthermore, in terms of organoleptic properties, they are much tastier and particularly aromatic.
The consumption of "raw milk" cheeses by preschool children, pregnant women, the elderly and immunocompromised people should be avoided.
