BERTANZA FORMAGGI SRL

Bertanza Formaggi operates in Orzinuovi, in the Brescia plain, within the area of Salva Cremasco DOP: a broad denomination, distributed across eight hundred and thirty-eight Lombard municipalities, which the company interprets in a precise format. The product is a soft, washed-rind cheese, with an unmistakable parallelepiped shape, made from whole raw cow's milk. It is during aging that its character takes shape. The minimum of seventy-five days is not a mere disciplinary formality but the time during which the regularly treated rind initiates the exchanges that bring creaminess beneath the surface and increasingly complex aromas towards the interior. The result is a 'two-speed' cheese, more melting at the edges and more compact at the core, where the slowness of maturation does the work that haste does not allow. Rooted in the pastoral landscape of the province, Bertanza's workshop keeps this product within its historical parameters, contributing with its own hand to a denomination that coexists with very vast territories.
