Semi-soft raw cows milk cheese.
Made by Arturo Locatelli and Antonio Arrigoni in Lombardy.
Taleggio started life hundreds of years ago as a type of Stracchino. Stracchino was the name given to all cheeses made from cows on their September journey back from the rich mountain pastures of the high Alps. One of these cheeses made in the Val Taleggio gained renown and by the start of the 20th century all types of stracchino in this area became grouped under the name Taleggio. Cooperativo Agricola Valtaleggio is one of only two dairies that still use unpasteurised milk and the only dairy left in the Taleggio Valley in the Orobic Alps where they are trying to sustain the old traditions of cheese making there using milk from the Brun Alpi Cows.
