Bitto aged – 9kg
$226.20 – $678.60
$7.54 – 100gr
Bitto is a traditional cheese of the Lombardy Alps. Its name means perpetual in Celtic, and it is one of few cheeses that, if aged properly, can be consumed even after 10 years.
It takes a lot of time to create this fantastic cheese. First the milk is processed, and the rennet is added to form the “Cagliata”. The “Cagliata” is then cooked at 52°C for 30 minutes and broken to extract the paste. Lastly the cheese is left to ridden for 70 days.
The flavor is rich and pleasant, and the more it is left to mature the more the flavor is intense. It is usually served with honey, walnut “Polenta” and full-bodied wines.
This is a pre-order cheese and waiting period to receive it is approximately 2 weeks.
