Stravecchio di Fiemme

Some cheeses need time. Stravecchio di Fiemme is one of them: a limited-production speciality from Caseificio Sociale Val di Fiemme, created for those who look for character, intensity and the authentic flavours of traditional mountain cheesemaking.

Its story begins with raw milk, processed in a way that preserves the characteristics of the milk and its connection with the territory. But it is above all time that makes the difference: the wheels are left to mature for more than a year, following a slow ageing process that shapes their texture, aromas and flavour.

During ageing, the wheels are manually brushed with linseed oil, a distinctive treatment that contributes to the cheese's texture and aromatic profile.

When cut, it has a compact paste, while on the palate it reveals a remarkable evolution: a pleasant sweetness appears first, gradually giving way to a spicy and pronounced finish. A contrast that makes every bite intense and lingering.

This is a cheese for connoisseurs, for those who appreciate authentic mountain cheeses, the kind that need no sweetening or reinterpretation to express their character. Best enjoyed on its own and slowly, allowing all its nuances to unfold.

Its limited production means it is not always available and can only be found at Caseificio Sociale Val di Fiemme. For this reason, discovering it feels a little like finding a hidden treasure.

Over a year of ageing, the cheesemakers' expertise and all the character of the mountains: Stravecchio di Fiemme is a cheese worth waiting for, seeking out and, when you finally find it, savouring down to the last nuance.

Stravecchio di Fiemme is made from unpasteurized milk; therefore, its consumption is not recommended for pregnant women, elderly and vulnerable individuals, and is strongly discouraged for children under the age of 10.
