In the past, the city of Bra was a market where this cheese produced in the Cuneo mountains was sold. Today, it is produced throughout the province.

As occurs with many other cheeses, this version is younger than the traditional, longer ripened cheese and is a relatively recent innovation created in response to the increased demand for fresh cheeses.
