| Caseificio dell'Alta Langa’s Robiolina is a soft-ripened Italian cheese from Piedmont’s Alta Langa, blending pasteurized cow, sheep, and goat milk ("tre latti") to achieve complex flavor and texture. The high-altitude terroir, rich in diverse flora and hazelnut cultivation, influences milk composition and sensory notes. Robiolina’s production balances traditional recipes with modern hygiene and safety standards, featuring slow acidification, mixed coagulation, and Geotrichum candidum rind. Its texture contrasts a creamy outer layer with a chalky center. Robiolina pairs well with regional wines and has specific storage and quality control requirements. It exemplifies scientifically guided artisan cheese production beyond PDO constraints. | |
