Azienda Agricola Il Vallone di Crivelli Mattia

Across forty hectares in Cuveglio, in the Varese area, Azienda Agricola Il Vallone produces a single denominated product: Formaggella del Luinese DOP, a semi-aged raw goat's milk cheese with a barely perceptible smokiness, matured for at least twenty days. The choice of unpasteurized milk links the cheese's character to the pasture and the season, in a pre-Alpine territory where goats have always found suitable terrain. The story began in 1999 with ten Saanen goats. From that small nucleus, the farm has built a robust herd, using artificial insemination and selected foreign genetics to strengthen the livestock. A portion of the milk goes beyond dairy production and reaches the Centrale del Latte di Varese as fresh pasteurized milk: two parallel paths that tell the entire story of the dairy sector. The farm welcomes visitors for tastings: those who come to Cuveglio can taste the Formaggella where it is made and closely observe the rhythm of the dairy and the barn.
