Alta Badia

Alta Badia is a traditional cheese originating from South Tyrol. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk and it's usually left to age for 6 months. Underneath its natural brownish rind, the texture is semi-hard, firm, and compact.

The aromas and flavors are complex, intense, tangy, and milky, with long-lasting toasted notes. This Gruyere-like cheese melts well, so it's often used in local dishes or served as a table cheese. It also goes well with potatoes, cured ham, and dark bread.
