Picture of testun occelli al barolo cheese

Testun Occelli al Barolo is an exclusive and very original interpretation of an ancient Italian mountain gourmet cheese recipe. In dialect, the name Testun Occelli al Barolo means 'headstrong'. The milk comes from animals that freely roam the summer pastures.

Testun Occelli al Barolo gourmet cheese is a mixture of cow's and ewe's milk. The structure is solid and compact, and Testun Occelli al Barolo is matured for at least 5 months in the Valcasotto cellars and refined in the wine must of the Nebbiolo of Barolo grape.

It was awarded the first prize in 1999 by experts on Slow Food for the best 'drunken' cheese in Italy. An interesting and unusual Italian gourmet cheese worth your attention.
