Details

Stracchino di Capra a Taleggio is a soft, creamy Italian cheese made from goat's milk. Originating in the Lombardy region, this cheese is inspired by the traditional Taleggio but crafted entirely from goat milk, giving it a unique, tangy flavor profile. It has a square shape with a thin, edible rind and a soft, velvety texture. The flavor is mild yet distinctly goat-forward, with hints of sweetness and a touch of earthiness. Perfect for spreading, melting, or enjoying as part of a cheese board, Stracchino di Capra a Taleggio is a versatile and delightful addition to any cheese selection.

A little history

Ciresa's history began almost 100 years ago, in 1927, founded by Giovanni Ciresa, and is now a third-generation company.
Giovani, the grand father, started his journey by sourcing cheese from the Valsassina area. Then, when the business became successful, he built a cave to age the selected cheese.
After the success of the Giovanni, his sons Vittorio and Alfredo took over the company and started producing the cheese themselves.
Vitorrio and Alfredo now help both of their children who took over a well-known Gorgonzola factory to expand their selection with a range of blue cheese.*
