Caseificio dell'Alta Langa
pronounced "la TOOR"
| La Tur, a soft-ripened mixed-milk cheese from Piedmont's Alta Langa, is made by Caseificio dell’Alta Langa using 30% cow, 30% sheep, and 40% goat milk. Its unique "mousse" texture and delicate flavor derive from traditional animal rennet and rapid aging of 7–15 days with the Geotrichum candidum rind. High moisture (50–60%) and fat content (~55-60% FDM) yield a rich, creamy cheese with citric, nutty, and yeasty notes. The cheese's production honors regional terroir, biodiversity, and pastoral heritage. La Tur is best paired with sparkling wines, aromatic whites, or saisons, and served with bread or honey. | |
