Castelmagno

Castelmagno is an Italian cheese originating from the Piedmont region. It is a semi-hard, half-fat cheese produced from whole cow's milk, obtained from cattle of the Piedmontese breed, fed on fresh forage or hay from mixed meadows or pasture. On occasion some milk from sheep or goats may be added to the cows' milk.

It has a protected designation of origin status in the European Union.

Aside from being eaten on its own, Castelmagno is used in fondue or veloutés and is eaten along with rice, pasta, polenta, thinly sliced raw beef meat (carpaccio) or grilled vegetables.
