Rocchetta

Award-winning Rocchetta by Caseificio dell Alta Langa is a skillful combination of exactly 33% cow, 33% sheep and 33% goat milk.  Caseificio uses only antibiotic-free milk from certified farms and their careful, precise low-temperature pasteurization and ripening process synthesizes the milks into an extraordinarily unique cheese where no one milk dominates.  Instead Rocchetta it is a perfect blend of rich, creaminess from the cow’s milk with exactly the right goaty tang and a lovely slightly salty sheep’s milk finish.

Characterized by its distinct, nuanced earthy, wild mushroom flavor and aroma, Rocchetta’s delicate, straw-colored bloomy rind contains a semi-soft interior that becomes silky-smooth and fluffy, cheesecake-like when brought to room temperature – the only way to fully enjoy this exquisite, impressive cheese.

It is a rare cheese that can compliment such a wide range of food and wine so well but Rocchetta’s compelling, complex flavor will deliver.
