Roccaverano DOP pure Goat

Bricco della Croce, is located in the heart of the Langhe, a fantastic company with a passion for farming and cheeses, raising native breed goats and sheep in a semi-wild state. This is where the Roccaverano DOP pure Goat is born

Roccaverano DOP pure Goat

In the unspoiled rugged nature, the animals feed on fragrant wild herbs rich in essences, aromas and flavours that are found in the cheeses produced strictly with raw milk! The milk is milked every day from the animals raised on the farm, which graze in the meadows adjacent to the farm, feeding on grasses and shrubs. A rich and tasty milk, that of our Camosciata delle Alpi goats and native "Langhe" and "Roccaverano" breeds, which we process every day to produce our Roccaverano Dop. The products retain all the organoleptic characteristics, such as the scents and flavours of the nature surrounding the farm.

The production process

To produce our Roccaverano, the milk from the evening milking is combined with that of the morning milking. And we process it strictly raw, meaning it does not undergo heat treatment or pasteurisation. This is to preserve intact all the aromatic nuances and organoleptic qualities. Notes that we find in the cheese thanks to grazing amid nature. Where the goats feed freely on wild herbs and shrubs. But that's not all, this way we also preserve all the quality of the milk. We preserve its vitamins, mineral salts and lactic bacteria for the wellbeing of our body.
