Formaggio pizzoccheri – Pizzoccheri Cheese: An Indissoluble Trio
The pizzoccheri cheese is a fundamental element of this typical Valtellina dish. It is not a single cheese, but a mix of cheeses that, as they melt, create a dense and stringy fondue that binds all the ingredients.
A semi-cooked cheese, with a more delicate flavor, but which contributes to the creaminess of the fondue.
Meltability: These cheeses, when heated, melt evenly, creating a creamy and stringy fondue.
Mountain cheese: A cheese produced at high altitude.
The choice of cheese depends on your personal taste and availability. Make sure to choose good quality cheeses, preferably with adequate maturation.
An Extra Tip
For an optimal result, we recommend cutting the cheeses into flakes before adding them to the pizzoccheri. This way they will melt faster and more evenly.
