Mild and delicate, melting and creamy to the palate, aromatic in its subtleness, Bontaleggio is the Mauri cheese par excellence, the real D.O.P. Taleggio.
Typical of Lombardy tradition it is today popular with an increasing number of consumers even on the other side of the Alps.
A slightly thready soft cheese, it is straw white in colour with a reddish crust that is soft, thin and usually wrinkled. Each cheese weighs on average 2 kg. It is aged for 40-50 days in the natural grottoes in Pasturo in Valsassina, with attentive cheesemakers and expert technicians following it at every stage of the production process, strictly respecting tradition.
