AGRICOLE OYACE SOC. COOP.

In Oyace, nestled in a high stretch of the Aosta Valley, the Agricole Oyace cooperative links its name to a single protected denomination: Fontina DOP. The raw, whole milk comes from Valdostana cows grazing the alpine valley floor, and from this unskimmed raw material, a cheese takes shape that brings the original environment into every flake of its paste. The wheels reveal the recognizable characteristics of the denomination: an elastic paste, tiny eyes, and a contained sweetness that accompanies without dominating. Operating within the area of the 74 municipalities of Valle d'Aosta, the cooperative upholds a collective craft, where the milk contribution from multiple breeders translates into a homogeneous product faithful to the regulations. Agricole Oyace adds nothing superfluous to this process: it transforms the dairy heritage of an entire alpine slope into a unique cheese, where altitude, breed, and pasture remain inscribed in the structure of the paste and its balance.
