What grows here
Mezzoldo
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
At the rugged headwaters of the Brembo River, Mezzoldo's sheer alpine geography shapes intense mountain cheeses. In this high altitude valley head, 1 verified producer continues the challenging craft of alpine dairy farming. This steep terrain falls within the selective zone of 21 municipalities authorized to produce Formai de Mut dell'Alta Valle Brembana DOP, a raw milk cheese reflecting the diverse summer flora of mountain pastures. The humid slopes also allow the aging of Bitto DOP. The dramatic elevation and pure mountain air define every wheel made in this remote Lombard enclave.
