| Description | Historic cheese produced with summer cow's milk from four mountain farms, semi-cooked paste and washed rind |
|---|---|
| Appearance | The rind is smooth, greasy and orange in colour; the paste is intense straw yellow in colour with medium-small eyes and a texture that is soft yet compact at the same time |
| Taste | Fatty and soluble on the palate, with sweet notes of cooked butter accompanied by slightly bitter notes of herbs and pasture, hints of damp cellar, wet wood and undergrowth, with a moderately pungent finish |
| Maturing | At least 90 days |
| Curiosity | Recognisable by the letter M, which stands for 'malga' (mountain dairy) and identifies summer alpine pasture production: only 1,000 wheels are produced each summer with milk from just four mountain farms |
| Our selection | The summer version of Puzzone di Moena DOP expresses a truly interesting complexity, both in terms of its texture and the sensations it gives on the palate, as well as its organoleptic depth |
| Suggestions | We recommend trying it with polenta or potatoes. It is also ideal with canederli or gnocchi |

The producer
Caseificio di Predazzo e Moena - Predazzo (TN) - Trentino Alto Adige
Why we chose them
Caseificio di Predazzo e Moena was founded in the early 1990s thanks to the merger of the two old dairies in Moena and Predazzo. It still has 10
member farmers who run their farms in the municipalities of Moena and Predazzo and supply the dairy with around 100 quintals of milk every day,
mainly from Brown Swiss and Red Pied cows. The dairy is part of the Consorzio dei Caseifici Sociali Trentini (Trentino Dairy Consortium), which
works to ensure a production chain that respects the environment, the quality of raw materials and the healthiness of the finished product, in
accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding agreed in the 1980s: a self-regulatory code for livestock and dairy production that regulates the
entire supply chain, from the production of fodder and milk on the farm to the processing of cheese.
