Azienda Agricola la casera di Spagnoli Sonia (Malga Val Gabbia)

High in the Bresciano mountains, Azienda Agricola la casera di Spagnoli Sonia manages Malga Val Gabbia, where high-altitude pastures nourish the dairy cows whose milk is destined for Silter DOP. This single denomination is tied to a demanding environment: the alpine pasture dictates rhythms and constraints that the cheese then retains in its profile. Silter is a hard cheese, produced with partially skimmed raw cow's milk and aged for a minimum of one hundred days in the alpine pasture. It is during this slow maturation, in contact with the mountain air, that the cheese develops its complex structure and the mineral notes typical of alpine cheesemaking. Spagnoli Sonia maintains the technical precision required by a protected denomination product in a far from easy context, where altitude and climate dictate the pace of work. The value of her Silter lies precisely in this: a cheese that faithfully records the effort of alpine grazing and the quality of milk born from the high pastures of Lombardia.
