Taleggio Dop
It is the classic processing of one of the best known and most widespread Dop of the Lombardy region. It belongs to the category of stracchini, cheeses characterized by soft texture and generally square shape. The production of taleggio, which was initially seasonal, takes place throughout the year now and not only in the mountains, where this cheese was born, but also in several artisanal establishments or in large dairies in the plains. In any case the aroma of taleggio, still produced in the land of origin, is unmistakable.
The Cooperativa Agricola Monti e Laghi has aggregated a group of direct farmers aware that to achieve positive results it is necessary to join forces. Today the Cooperativa has achieved excellent results, while maintaining the primary character of a cooperative linked to traditions. In fact, the figure of the farmer plays a central role. The landscape surrounding the dairy is uncontaminated, enchanting and suggestive, characterized by green meadows and pastures, vineyards and olive groves. All of this is the result of peasant experience handed down to generations. Solidarity, collaboration and constructive dialogue between mountain operators (and nany others) are, for the cooperative, necessary and fundamental conditions for promoting it and fostering a future made up of concrete results based on quality and food safety.
Taleggio Dop can be purchased at the Cooperativa Monti e Laghi in Vigolo.
