Strachitunt

Produced in the Alpine valley of Val Taleggio, namely the Lombardian province of Bergamo, Strachitunt soft cheese is said to be a cross between blue cheese and Taleggio, the region's most popular cheese. However, Strachitunt is much rarer and peculiar in both taste and texture, bringing together a complex medley of flavors into one cheese: this unique cheese has quite a savory, creamy and nutty taste, but at the same time sweet and grassy. It belongs to the Stracchino Tondo table cheese family, and it is made with the combined morning and evening milk of the Bruna Alpina cow breed.

To become ready for consumption it needs to age in limestone caves for ideally 75 days or at least 2 months.
