Toma di capra Valgerola

A strictly raw goat's milk toma cheese from the Orobie Alps in Valtellina, where cheesemakers attentive to the grazing animals coagulate the goats' milk using traditional tools (copper cauldrons and wooden utensils), resulting in a rare product with an unmistakably ircinous taste but with sweet tones, as sweet as the slopes on which the animals graze.
