Raschera DOP

Producer: Caseificio Rabbia Origin: Piedmont, Italy

Rabbia’s Raschera DOP is perhaps the last of its kind, still crafted from raw milk and cave aged in the mountain for 9 months. For anyone who has had the privilege to travel to Piedmont, you have most likely experienced this beautiful bulbus rustic square cheese in the local cuisine – in the form of a velvet like fonduta melted over onions or other local vegetables or whipped up into a perfect cheesey sauce for potato gnocchi. Though perfectly suited for the kitchen, this Raschera is also worthy of a spot on your cheeseboard: an ode to what this cheese once was, a simple yet sophisticated cheese that is an homage to the local animals and environment.
