Full description
Do you know the secret of a perfect Robiola?
Find out with this 3-hour experience in the hills of the Alta Langa, in the province of Cuneo! You will visit a cowshed and an artisanal cheese factory, where you will meet sheep, goats and lambs, watch the milk being processed and conclude with a rich cheese tasting.
Don't miss this journey through the flavours of the Piedmont region!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Bossolasco (CN) . We will be welcomed by the guide, who will accompany us on a journey through nature, animals and dairy tradition.
We will begin with a visit to the stable, where we will be able to pet and cuddle sheep, goats and lambs, discovering how they are cared for and how lactation, grazing, pregnancy and feeding work. Those who wish can also try milking a sheep. This first moment will last about 30 minutes and will allow us to discover what respectful and sustainable animal husbandry is all about.
We will then move to the cheese dairy, consisting of two rooms, where we will witness the transformation of milk into Robiola and mature cheese for about 30 minutes. The curdling process takes place every day, so it will always be possible to see the various stages of production live.
Finally, a guided cheese tasting will await us: a sensory journey to discover the territory. We will taste an appetiser with three of the dairy's creations (e. g. , melted Pecorino with honey and pistachios, fried Culurgiones and fresh Robiola with sweet and sour onions, or other similar dishes) , followed by the Cheese Wheel: 8 samples made from sheep's and goat's milk, fresh and mature. All will be accompanied by bread, croutons, butter, yoghurt and water. Finally, there will be a dessert accompanied by vanilla ice cream and coffee.
In summer, the tasting will be held on the panoramic terrace of the hamlet, while in winter it will be held in a heated indoor room, where we can stay as long as we wish after the tasting has finished.
The activity will last an approximate total of 3 hours.
