Roccious Aged in a Half Shape Pit

Roccious Aged in a Half Shape Pit

The Roccioso Affinato in Fossa from the Corrado Benedetti company, in a half form of 1kg, is a rocky cheese of white color tending to pale yellow, with an enveloping taste and mineral hints to the palate.

It is in the Prealps where this special cheese comes to life, made exclusively with whole cow's milk. Its identity, however, develops elsewhere, inside pits dug into the ground where it matures for at least three months. Within these rocky cavities, hints and aromas evolve.

It is at this stage that the cheese also develops the “Rocciosa” paste that characterizes it. Once extracted, the product is taken to Croce dello Schioppo, where it will complete its maturation journey.

At the plants of Corrado Benedetti, the wheels of Roccioso cheese reach the pinnacle of aromaticity, completing their cycle and becoming definitively a signature product.
