In the heart of Valtaleggio, Ambrogio, our producer, has been making farmhouse Taleggio for generations and ripening it naturally.

A delicious raw cow's milk cheese bathed in a mixture of local Clinton and Raboso wine, it is then pierced like a gorgonzola to let the aroma and flavor of the wine permeate the cheese to a new degree.
