Bosina Robiola
The Alta Langa is an agricultural region located in the southern part of Piedmont, Italy.
This region is famous for Barolo, Barbaresco and Asti wines and also produces a
wide variety of wonderful cheeses. Bosina is a small town in the center of the
Alta Langa, where this cheese of the same name is produced by hand from milk of
the region's lush, green pastures. Bosina (the cheese) is produced from an old
recipe using modern equipment. Only 100% natural ingredients are used, without
adding preservatives, food dyes, or any artificial additives. Bosina is
typically Piedmontese with a scent of the countryside. One bite of this cheese
takes you right back to its homeland. It is straw-colored with a white exterior,
offering delicate and harmonious flavors and rich fragrances. It is important to
eat this cheese at room temperature to experience its full potential.
