Azienda Agricola Giacomelli Mauro (Malga Cadino Dossi)

Above Breno, in the upper Val Camonica, Azienda Agricola Giacomelli Mauro operates Malga Cadino Dossi, where high-altitude pastures nourish the cows whose milk becomes Silter DOP. There is only one denomination, and all work revolves around it: raw milk collected at altitude, cheesemaking according to alpine techniques, followed by a maturation of at least one hundred days in mountain cellars. It is during this cool resting period that the cheese builds its identity: a hard, compact paste, mineral notes, and a complexity that reflects the grass of the Brescia pastures. The producer oversees every step with the discipline required by the denomination, following the rhythm of the seasons and the transhumance between the valley floor and the alpine pasture. The result is a Silter whose taste embodies the altitude at which it was born, without shortcuts or additions extraneous to the traditional malga method.
