At the Latteria Sociale di Branzi Casearia 1953 the processing methods have remained unchanged over time, only the equipment has changed in proportion to the quantities of milk transformed here every day, giving rise to the Formaggio Tipico di Branzi 60 gg
The Latteria Sociale
 here it is the art of the cheesemaker that has always decided when the coagulated curd is ready to be broken. When the cooking is right and how to cut it. His expert hands work it before placing the mass into the moulds. Here the Branzi FTB cheese aged 60 days is made. This âfreshâ version, meaning aged from the production date for a period that can range from 45 to 60 daysâ of the Branzi FTB cheese historically originates from Branzi, the town of the same name from which it takes its name.
Formaggio Tipico di Branzi 60 gg
It features recognisable characteristics such as the typical concave âVâ-shaped rind and the âhistoricâ FTB mark on the top face. The milk used is raw, whole cowâs milk. Coming from cows raised free-range or semi free-range and sent directly to the Latteria Sociale di Branzi Casearia. Where the processing takes place and, before salting, it undergoes a pressing process. During ageing, the wheels are periodically turned. This process ensures an even maturation of the paste.Fun fact:
Branzi is one of the oldest and most typical cheeses of the Orobie mountains. It takes its name from the town of the same name in the upper Val Brembana where traditional production began and where whole cowâs milk is still processed today
It is an FPO (Formaggi Principi delle Orobie) product.
