Toma ’d Trausela

Fri, 05 Aug 2016 15:00:55 GMT

The Toma ‘dTrausela is fruit of the historical tradition of preparing very fresh cheeses to be eaten immediately or in a few days. It was born out of the cheese-maker’s ability to transform the milk flavours into a solid form. This is a whole cow’s milk cheese (from the milk of cows fed on the pastures of Valchiusella), made into cheese as soon as it is milked. Soft and fresh, it is a great cheese to be eaten as both appetiser, along with natural baked potatoes, as well as at the end of a meal. The pieces weigh approximately 1 kg. It is eaten within two days from production. It is strictly produced in Valchiusella.
