A typical cheese of the Piedmontese territory, it is born from the tradition of sheep-farming in Upper Piedmont as a simple "Toma" and evolves into a researched product in form and substance. It enjoys the richness of the lake territory (Lake Orta) to express a rich and deep taste, suitable for all palates.
Mergozzolo identifies the mountain area (in the lower Alps) where the cheese comes form. In this area there is the Mottarone mountain.
