Castelrosso Cheese (Whole Wheel)

Castelrosso Cheese – Whole Wheel (8 lb)

Crafted in Biella, Piedmont since 1894, Castelrosso is a traditional Italian cheese made by the Rosso family, whose dedication to artisanal cheesemaking has been passed down for generations. Known locally as toma brusca in the Piedmontese dialect, this cheese reflects a rare and time-honored method in which the milk is allowed to naturally acidify before curdling, creating a flavor that develops from the rind inward.

Produced with pasteurized cow’s milk from Bruna Alpina and Pezzata Rossa cows breeds prized for their naturally higher milk acidity Castelrosso has a dense, chewy texture and a flavor profile that evolves beautifully with age. Near the rind, earthy and rustic notes emerge, while the interior delivers a lactic, tangy finish that becomes more pronounced with each bite.

Castelrosso is a versatile table cheese, ideal for cheese boards, rustic sandwiches, or melting into warm dishes. Its bold yet balanced character makes it especially appealing to lovers of traditional Alpine cheeses.
