Toma allevata in Miniera

TOMA ALLEVATA IN MINIERA is a raw cow's milk cheese from Valtrompia , with raw paste produced with grafted milk and therefore without added ferment from the milk of animals ,in season, grazing. Small in size, semi-matured in an old mine ( from which it takes its name ) and grow in Guffanti cellars where the rind is cured with the use of small doses of linseed oil ( in the Valtrompia fashion, hence the amber hue of the rind with its elasticity typical of that treatment).

The respect for the name given by the producer is also a tribute to the beginning of Luigi Guffanti's career, who began maturing precisely in a disused silver mine.
