| Description | Goat's whole milk coming from the area of Valsesia |
|---|---|
| Appearance | The rind is thin and the paste is compact, white in colour, little and rarely eyes |
| Taste | The taste is sweet with nutty, ripe fruits and milky notes |
| Maturing | At least 30 days |
| Curiosity | This cheese takes its name from the stones, collected on the banks of the rivers, which were used a time to cover the roofs of houses |
| Our selection | Beola di Capra won us over for its complexity: during the tasting first lactic notes prevail, then ripe fruit, hazelnut and wet cellar. It's interesting the chromatic variation of the rind during the year: white in February and March, becomes gradually more orange in the months from April to September and greyish in the autumn. This aspect is closely related to the environment of seasoning. |
| Suggestions | It should be enjoyed at room temperature, either in a plate of mixed cheeses or at the end of a meal, perhaps with a good red wine that is not too full-bodied. It is also interesting to pair it with a glass of Alsace AOP Gewürztraminer with hints of apricot, white pepper and candied chestnuts that will counterbalance the cellar notes of the cheese, the bitter return of the sip will enhance the sweetness of the Beola |

La Giuncà - Fobello (VC) - Piedmont
Why we chose them
We are in Alta Valsesia, in Vercelli area, where La Giuncà makes curious forms of cheese from the milk of nearby valley. The passion for the raw
milk has remained the same as in the past, as are the natural cellars scattered under the houses of the town and full of a truly fragrant and dense
flora. Bruno, that learned the job from his father, is the master cheesemaker of La Giuncà while Gianluca is the affineur. The creativity of Bruno and
Gianluca is based on the dairy tradition of the territory, it is bound especially at the Tome of local shepherds. That's why their cheeses have complex
hues of colour and flavour, real masterpieces that we want to present to you. Without forgetting their butter, made in a corner of their dairy with an
amazing view on the valley. Really a classy butter!
