| Our selection | Eggemoa cheeses immediately exerted a great fascination in us: to the sight, nose and palate they tell of the passion and commitment of the Steiner family in telling all-round the land from which they come |
| Suggestions | Eggemoa cheeses all have an edible rind, in fact they are treated only with salted water and refined with natural ingredients added to the rind before packaging: removing the rind would be a real shame! We suggest to taste it as an original version of the french "roti", it goes very weel also with an onion mostarda, a chutney with pruns, Teroldego wine and red radicchio or with a slice of sourdough bread. As for the wine we reccomend a white wine od medium structure with slightly shy aromatic range, well perceptible acididy, flavour and softness |

EGGEMOA - Selva dei Molini (BZ) - Trentino Alto Adige
Why we chose them
Eggemoa is the old name of a farm at 1300 meters above sea level in Selva dei Molini, in the northest border of Trentino Alto Adige region. The
farm was restored by the Steiner family in 2017 but the dairy was established in 2001, when Irmgard and Gebhard Steiner decided to start
processing the milk of their cows for the production of cheeses. Michael was a child and dreamed of being a helicopter pilot, but as he grew up his
dream became to give a new identity to the cheeses produced by his parents. After the experience in Switzerland, Michael decided to produce
small soft cheeses, strictly raw milk and refined with the ingredients of the forest that extends around the farm: larch needles, spruce bark, juniper
berries.His father Gebhard looks after the 15 Brown Swiss dairy cows fed on pasture in the summer - thus keeping the alpine meadows surrounding
the farm neat - and with hay in the winter, without silage. Finally, the practice of cutting horns on calves was suspended by virtue of a breeding that
embraces the philosophy of animal welfare. The small herd produces about 300 liters of milk a day, so a couple of times a week the milk is
collected from another small stable nearby that adopts the same farming philosophy of the Steiner family, so as to guarantee always excellent raw
milk cheeses, with a deep link with this wonderful mountain territory.
