Storico Ribelle

Storico Ribelle is a traditional type of Italian Bitto cheese originating from the Valgerola area of Valtellina. The cheese is made from a mixture of raw cow's and Orobic goat's milk and it's left to age for a minimum of 70 days. However, some wheels are left to age for over 10 years.

The cheese is produced in summer months and the cattle and goats feed on mountain pastures, which is why the milk is rich and the cheese has unique organoleptic characteristics. The texture is hard and dry with very fine eyes. The aromas are grassy, floral, and milky, while the flavors are rich and intense.

It's recommended to serve the cheese with blueberry jam, rye bread, chestnut honey, and typical valtellinese delicacies such as pizzoccheri and sciatt (stuffed buckwheat fritters). Pair Storico Ribelle with a glass of full-bodied red wine.
