Valtellina Casera DOP is a typical cheese from Valtellina, produced with partially skimmed cow's milk from bovines fed with local forages. It has a cylindrical shape (diameter 30–45 cm, height 8–10 cm) and variable weight between 7 and 12 kg. The rind is compact, straw yellow, more intense with aging. The paste is elastic, medium consistency, with fine and scattered eyes. The flavor is sweet and harmonious, becoming more intense and complex with refinement, developing notes of dried fruit and hay.
