Bra

Named after its town of origin, Bra is a sheep, goat and cow's milk cheese produced in the mountainous Piedmont provinces of Cuneo and Villafranca Piemonte in Turin. Bra is often used as a grating cheese and it is available in three varieties: Tenero (tender, soft), Duro (hard), and Bra d'Alpeggio - the Alpine version of Bra produced only during summer pastures and the most prized one.

Bra has an intense aroma and quite a piquant flavor which becomes even more pronounced as the cheese ripens.
