Trentingrana PDO<\/strong> is one of the most authentic symbols of Trentino\u2019s dairy excellence and has always been one of the flagship products of the Caseificio di Cavalese<\/strong>. Made exclusively with milk collected in the valleys of Trentino, it is the result of an artisanal production process that strictly adheres to the regulations of the Protected Designation of Origin.<\/p>\n

Over 50% of the milk delivered to the dairy is used for the production of Trentingrana, reflecting the importance of this cheese in local tradition and the regional economy.<\/p>\n

Production<\/h3>\n

Trentingrana is produced according to the traditional method handed down through generations.<\/p>\n

The production process involves mixing:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Skimmed milk from the evening milking<\/li>\n
  • Whole milk from the morning milking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    To this base are added natural starter culture, consisting of indigenous lactic ferments, and calf rennet. The milk is processed thanks to the experience and skill of the cheesemakers, who oversee every stage of production with care and expertise.<\/p>\n

    Maturation<\/h3>\n

    Trentingrana is available in various stages of maturation, each with specific aromatic characteristics:<\/p>\n

    • 14\u201318 months:<\/strong> balanced and more structured<\/li>\n
    • 24 months:<\/strong> intense and rich in aromas<\/li>\n
    • 36 months:<\/strong> complex, persistent and particularly suited to tasting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Organoleptic Characteristics<\/h3>\n

      External appearance:<\/strong> Cylindrical shape with a hard, compact, golden-coloured rind.<\/p>\n

      Paste:<\/strong> Fine and grainy, light straw-coloured, with a typical crumbly texture.<\/p>\n

      Aroma:<\/strong> Intense and harmonious, with hints of milk, butter and dried fruit.<\/p>\n
