About the product

Although it is currently consumed “fresh”, Bitto cheese, that gets its name from one of the rivers running through the Valtellina, was traditionally ripened for up to 10 years. It is an exclusively alpine pasture cheese. The texture is hard and yellow, while the taste is intense, rich and dry with faint traces of grass and hay and pleasant undertones fresh cheese.
