Aged cheesesSlow Food Presidium

Precious like Bagòss cheese, Tombea is one of the most sought-after cheeses in the dairy heritage, made exclusively with cow’s milk from Valvestino.

The Tombea ® mountain pasture cheese is the typical and historic cheese of the town of Magasa, in Val Vestino.

A cheese that, in its exceptional flavor, holds the entire history of an imperceptible artisan.

It’s made using only the alpine milk from Bruna Alpina and Pezzata Rossa cows that graze on the Brescia mountains in the Tombea, Bait, and Corva pastures at 2000 meters altitude. In 2020, it won the “Dino Villani Award” as cheese of the year.

It’s a rare and precious cheese because it’s made traditionally by a small number of cheesemakers. In the mouth, it offers fragrances reminiscent of mountain flowers and the milk of brown alpine cows. The aging process is usually 20-24 months, but it can also reach 36 months.

Enjoy as a delicious table cheese or grated on pasta.
