A niche product, it is a pasteurized cow's milk cheese that has gold in its mouth. During the processing, to the curd, are added the chopped pistils of mountain gold, the saffron that finds space to be cultivated in a well-defined area on the border between Val di Cembra and Val di Fiemme, in particular in the municipality of Capriana, where exposure and type of land allow its cultivation.
As well as giving the cheese its typical intense yellow colour, it also gives it the characteristic notes of saffron, which become more and more important as the cheese matures.
