Grasso d’Alpe Buscagna (Parco Veglia Devero)

Every ‘alp’ or mountain pasture has a cheesemaker to transform the milk into cheese, which is identified by the name of the alp. This particular grazing zone is a picturesque Alpine area for snow-shoeing rather than skiing, and the tiny hamlets dotted along the way are still very much like they were hundreds of years ago. Similar in style to the Ossolana but with a smoother texture and less rough ‘artisan’-style rind. A good cheese for snacking, as well as grating for a fonduta or gratin.
