Ingredients of Alta Badia
Ingredients:
Fat 50+, pasteurized cow's milk, salt, starter culture, animal rennet, preservative E1105 (EGG)
The unique taste of the Italian Alps
The Alta Badia is a true pride from the Italian region of South Tyrol. This hard mountain cheese is prepared with fresh cow's milk from farms located high in the mountains. Thanks to the rich, flowery meadows in the Dolomites, the milk acquires an unprecedentedly pure character. After the traditional preparation, the cheese matures for about six months. During this period, the cheese acquires a firm texture and a dark, closed rind.
What makes the Alta Badia so beloved is its intense, complex flavor. You immediately taste delicious roasted notes and a distinct nutty character, in perfect balance with a subtle, slightly sweet aftertaste. It is therefore no surprise that this cheese was awarded bronze at the World Cheese Awards 2025-2026. A fantastic cheese for a luxurious cheese board, delicious with a good glass of red wine or grated over your favorite pasta or risotto dishes.
Freshly cut from the knife for optimal quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we only cut your order fresh from the large round cheese the moment you order. Immediately afterwards, the cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To preserve the complex aromas and firm texture during the journey, your order is always shipped with a cooling pack. This way you can immediately enjoy absolute top quality at home.
