Toma della Burtulina

A single cheesemaker for this "house made" cheese. Dairy cows, twenty  animals, graze in summer over 2000 meters giving us an extraordinary "grasso d'alpe" (fat pasture) cheese.

In winter the animals are free to choose - according to the weather  - the wild pasture or the covered shelter with a new barn built especially for them.
