Brunet
The Langhe is the argicultural heart of Piemonte. Its picturesque hills and meadows are home to the famed vineyards of Barolo and Barbaresco, hazelnut groves, fruit trees, and some of the world’s finest cheeses. The are is also beloved for its traditional cheeses ranging from young, fresh robiola to local toma, to the esteamed Castelmagno.
Caseificio dell’Alta Langa, located in the Langhe town of Bosina, has taken beloved and traditional Piemontese cheeses and given them a modern update. While their facility made be state-of-the-art, their cheeses remain decidedly Piemontese in character. Taking its name from a local breed of goat, Brunet is Alta Langa’s answer to an all goat milk robiola. Under its thin bloomy rind, the interior is dense, thick and lusciously creamy. The flavor is tangy and distinctly goaty with hints of fresh grasses, mushrooms and heavy cream.
