Robiola Rocchetta Alta Langa is an esteemed cheese from the Alta Langa region in Piedmont, Italy. This artisanal cheese is a variant of the traditional Robiola, distinguished by its unique blend of cow’s, goat’s, and occasionally sheep’s milk.
Robiola Rocchetta Alta Langa features a semi-soft, creamy texture that is smooth and spreadable. The cheese often has a dense, velvety feel with a slightly crumbly edge, especially as it ages.
The flavour profile is rich and complex, offering creamy and buttery notes with a mild tanginess. It has subtle hints of earthiness and herbs, providing a well-rounded taste experience. The complexity of the flavour increases with aging, revealing deeper, more nuanced notes.
It is excellent for melting and can be used in pasta dishes, risottos, and as a topping for baked vegetables or meats. Its smooth texture makes it ideal for enriching a variety of dishes.
