Taste Intense aroma of cooked butter, yogurt, mineral notes, fermented notes and humid wood; the taste is sweet and slightly sour
Maturing It is matured for at least 60 days in natural caves, called Grotte del Caglieron
Curiosity It takes its name from the caves where the cheese maturation takes place; Grotte del Caglieron are a natural place with a natural cave in the centre and other smaller caves around; the natural one was born thanks to the erosion of the Caron creek that even today flows over there, the other caves dates back the XVI century and were dig up to take the piera dolza, the sandstone used in the local houses; to sustain the cave some columns were left creating a breathtaking scenary
Suggestions Perfect to finish a risotto

The producer

Latteria di Soligo - Farra di Soligo (TV) - Veneto

Why we chose them
Latteria Soligo was founded as a cooperative in 1883, one of the first cooperatives in Italy. Along its history of over 130 years, the dairy was the reference point for the dairy sector of the whole Treviso area, infact it opened numerous small dairies throughout the territory. Still today the beating heart of the Latteria Soligo is represented by over 200 members who engage with passion in the breeding of cows and in the milk production. In 2020, the dairy concluded a merger with Latteria Agricansiglio in Fregona, where it kept the processing and ageing, that for some cheeses still takes place inside the spectacular natural caves Grotte del Caglieron.
