The peasant traditions of Sogliano al Rubicone, probably of medieval origin, testify to the custom of “renting” the tuff pits, used for the preservation of the grain, to the owners of the cheese and allow the sinking as a method of maturing. The ditches are cone-shaped or flask-shaped rooms, about 3 metres high, with a diameter of about 2 metres, dug into the tuff of the village of Soglianese, where unusual conditions of temperature and humidity create the ideal environment for numerous chemical, physical and microbiological transformations to take place, making a normal cheese into the unmistakable product of “Fossa Cheese”.
The shapes come back to light remodeled, are greasy and twisted and spread a unique and unmistakable aroma and a harmonious flavor that makes the “Fossa Cheese” famous throughout Italy and a product sought after in the world.
Pasteurized sheep MILK, salt, rennet, lactic ferments.
Allergens: Milk and milk derivatesMilk origin:
Italy
Shape: totally different from each other and with irregular characteristics, given the fermentation and the pressure to which they are subjected during the period of sinking;
External appearance: hard, compact but very thin rind, smooth and yellow in colour with dark or pink patches.
Internal appearance: compact, straw-yellow in colour and with the possibility of pinkish blotches with a very slight hint;
Aroma: lactic hints of cooked butter, meat broth, fermented grass and a hint of animal;
Taste: strong, spicy and very savoury flavour and also very persistent.
- Food pairings:
Excellent for making first courses or even just for grating it on top.
Given its intense flavour, anyone who wants can pair it with an onion jam, wildflower honey, or a fig mustard, but at this point it no longer pairs well with wine.
- Wine pairings:
Amarone, Brunello or other important red wine
