Caseificio in Langa
This
small craftsman laboratory for cheese is found in the Langa area,
close to the historic centre of Farigliano. This
place, with almost domestic dimensions, houses the most renowned
“jewels” of collection of the Beppino Occelli collection.
The first among these is the Tuma dla Paja,
which received the prize for the best imported cheese in New York
in 1997, followed by Escarun, unanimously considered to be an extraordinary
example of Italian cheese making art. The perfect combination of
tradition (choice milk from closely controlled, selected Piedmontese
herds), and the excellent care taken throughout all stages of production
produce these monumental results. Only exclusive
specialities are produced here, among which Testun Occelli and Cusiè,
matured in the ancient cool cellars of Valcasotto.
