| Robiola Bosina is a soft-ripened "due latte" (cow and sheep milk) cheese from Caseificio dell'Alta Langa in Bosia, Piedmont. Blending tradition and modern dairy science, it features a creamy, silky texture, buttery and mushroom notes, and a white bloomy rind. Pasteurized for export, it balances rich sheep milk fat with cow milk’s mildness. Manufactured with animal rennet, it ripens centripetally, developing complex flavors. Highly perishable, it requires careful storage. Best enjoyed with sparkling or local wines, Bosina stands out for its approachability and absence of “goaty” tang, exemplifying the region’s heritage and adaptability in global cheese markets. | |
