Caseificio dell'Alta Langa
| Gemma Di Langa is an Italian artisanal cheese from Piedmont’s Alta Langa, produced by Caseificio dell'Alta Langa. Made with pasteurized cow, sheep, and goat milk plus cow cream, it’s a double-crème, washed-rind, soft-ripened cheese aged about 30 days. Its distinctive flavor and “velvety” texture result from the mixed-milk blend, terroir, and surface cultures. Not DOP-protected, it’s a proprietary specialty with greater production flexibility. The cheese is visually orange-pink (from Annatto), mildly funky yet approachable, and best enjoyed with sparkling wines, farmhouse ales, or simple foods like crusty bread and olives. Not vegetarian, it requires refrigeration. | |
