SOUTH TYROLEAN CHEESE \u2013 Pustertaler<\/strong><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Born among the green valleys of Val Pusteria, Pustertaler Mila is a cheese that expresses the purity of South Tyrol.
With an intense aroma of milk and hay, it features a compact, golden-yellow paste and a natural, lightly waxed rind. Its harmonious flavour, with notes of butter and hazelnut, makes it a versatile and refined cheese, ideal both as a table cheese and for cooking.
Like many alpine cheeses, it is naturally lactose-free (<0.1 g\/100 g), the result of a well-balanced maturation process.<\/p>\n

    Production Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Milking and Collection<\/strong>
    High-quality whole milk from cows fed with local hay and forage.<\/p>\n

    Coagulation<\/strong>
    Natural rennet and selected lactic cultures create a compact, uniform curd.<\/p>\n

    Cutting and Pressing<\/strong>
    The curd is finely cut and pressed to achieve the characteristic smooth paste with no holes.<\/p>\n

    Salting<\/strong>
    Brined for several days to balance sweetness and savouriness.<\/p>\n

    Ageing<\/strong>
    A minimum of 8 months in environments with controlled temperature and humidity.
    During this time, it develops its elastic texture and the characteristic sweet aroma of cooked milk.<\/p>\n
