The origin of PDO taleggio cheese is very old, probably predating the 10th century.
\nIt was produced along the route of the cows that in late spring were brought to the mountains by shepherds and in the fall brought back to the plains.
\nDid you know that this movement is so deep-rooted and important that it has, in the Bergamo dialect, a special expression to indicate it?
\nIt is called “carg\u00e0” or “descarg\u00e0 ‘l mut,” literally “loading” or “unloading the mountain” (with the herds).
\nSince it was also produced while traveling, it was transported on the back of a donkey or mule in special rectangular wooden boxes divided into three to four square compartments.
\nEven today, the shape of Taleggio DOP is a parallelepiped with a square base and is produced exclusively along the original transhumance route in the East Lombardy provinces of Bergamo, Brescia and Cremona. <\/p>\n","style":"primary","target":"_self","hero_type":"images","hero_title":"Taleggio DOP","size":"full","curiosities":"
