Roccaverano Dop matured pure goat

Goats of the Camosciata delle Alpi breed and the native "Roccaverano" breed graze among the meadows and woods surrounding the farm, raised in a semi-wild state, feeding therefore on wild grasses among meadows and woods. We use what the land offers. What nature has best to offer. Our goats graze on unspoiled land that would otherwise be left abandoned. This means taking care of biodiversity. Milking and processing take place daily to preserve the raw material as much as possible and to obtain high-quality products. The goat Roccaverano Dop is a soft and creamy goat cheese. With the typical notes of goat's milk that, as maturation progresses, soften to give way to bold and enveloping aromas. Excellent enjoyed plain with a drizzle of delicate oil and a little freshly ground pepper, or alternatively with natural wild berry preserves, it becomes an excellent dessert.

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 pasteurization. This is to preserve intact all the aromatic nuances and organoleptic qualities. Notes that we find in the cheese thanks to grazing amidst nature. Where the goats feed freely on wild grasses and shrubs. But not only that, this way we maintain all the quality of the milk. We preserve its vitamins, mineral salts and lactic bacteria for the wellbeing of our body. The awards In June 2023, the first Piedmontese Cheese Festival took place.
