MONTEBORE

Unique cheese due to its shape, which resembles a three-layer cake. Its characteristic truncated cone shape with diameters tapering upwards and concentrically overlapping is called castellino.

It is a niche raw milk product and could easily be among the rarest in the world.

The village of Montébore, which gave its name to the cheese, is still of peasant origins today. It is located in the Alessandria area, on the watershed between the Borbera, Grue and Curone valleys where there are 30 small municipalities interested in production. The salt route passed here, which from Genoa reached Lombardy.
