Taleggio DOP is produced in the Val Taleggio, in the province of Bergamo. Born as a stracchino, it was especially valued starting from the early 1900s to differentiate it from this typical Lombard cheese. Taleggio is a raw milk cheese inoculated with microbial species that release that strongly identity-flavored profile. It ages for a minimum period of 35 days. Taleggio cheese: did you know? The history of Taleggio is closely linked to the Val Taleggio, a beautiful corner of the Bergamo mountains, from which it obviously takes its name, but over time its production has expanded into a very large territory that includes much of Lombardy, Piedmont, and the province of Treviso, in Veneto. Another curiosity: mountain artisans initially brought cheese-making techniques to the plains as a way to preserve milk. The first name given to this cheese, as already mentioned, was Stracchino, from "stracc", meaning tired, as the cows returned weary from the pasture.
