Azienda Agricola Pedretti Monia

In Bienno, amidst the Brescian Alps, Azienda Agricola Pedretti Monia dedicates its work to a single denomination, Silter DOP. It is a high-altitude cheese made from partially skimmed raw cow's milk and aged for at least one hundred days, a period that transforms a simple ingredient into wheels with a defined character. The processing follows the slow rhythm imposed by the mountains, where high-altitude pastures dictate the quality of the milk even before that of the cheese. Raw milk and long aging are the two cornerstones of this production: the former retains the flora and aromas of the alpine pastures, while the latter concentrates them into a compact and persistent paste. There are no shortcuts in such a demanding process, and it is precisely in this slowness that the identity of Silter resides. The company opens its doors to visitors: those who come to Bienno can closely observe the craft and verify its outcome through on-site tastings, directly connecting the alpine landscape and the cheese that results from it.
