Taleggio DOP is produced in the Val Taleggio, in the province of Bergamo. Initially created as a stracchino, it was particularly valued starting from the early '900 to differentiate it from this typical Lombard cheese. Taleggio is a soft cheese made from raw cow's milk inoculated with microbial species that release its strongly identity-defining flavor. It ages for a minimum period of 35 days. Did you know about Taleggio cheese? The history of Taleggio is closely linked to Val Taleggio, a beautiful corner of the Bergamasque mountains, from which it obviously takes its name, but over time its production has spread to a very large territory that includes a significant part of Lombardy, Piedmont, and the province of Treviso in Veneto. Another curiosity: mountain artisans initially brought cheese-making techniques to the plains as a way to preserve milk. The first name given to this cheese, as previously mentioned, was Stracchino, from "stracc", meaning tired, considering that the cows returned tired from grazing.
