Of medieval origins, it is a white, fat cheese made from sheep and cow’s milk. Its shape, called “il Castellino” (or “little castle”), inspired by the tower of Montebore castle, looks like the trunk of a cone because of the overlaying of three or five disks of different weight and decreasing diameter. It has a delicate flavour when still fresh and a heavy-bodied taste when matured.
