Description
Our premier Italian-style cheese takes its own sweet time.
In the beginning, we tried to haul the summer’s harvest of cheese wheels down the mountain before the snows came in too heavy. It was dangerous work. Our sleighs, drawn by our loyal sheepdogs, overloaded with heavy wheels of good alpine cheeses, would flounder in the deep snowdrifts that, by October, were already covering the mountain passes. Finally, one year, we realized we wouldn’t make it. With heavy hearts we locked a whole summer’s worth of milk in one of the mountain caves, and headed down into the valley emptyhanded. But when spring came and we unsealed the cave, we realized that something beautiful had happened. A gentle rind had formed in the damp of the cave and our big wheels were better than they ever had been! Since that day, we only age in caves, saving the journey down the mountain for the spring.
