| Description | Raw cow's milk cheese obtained from cows bred in Valle Aurina, fed on pasture in summer and with hay in winter; aged at least 5 weeks |
|---|---|
| Appearance | The rind is washed, with a characteristic orange colour; the paste is soft and inviting, straw-yellow in colour and with a diffuse eye formation that suggests butteriness and a particularly melting texture on the palate, that will indeed be found when tasting |
| Taste | On the palate, the tomette is assertive but elegant, fragrant and persistent; it fully meets expectations for a "mountain" cheese |
| Maturing | At least 5 weeks |
| Curiosity | It all started with this cheese: Michael began his career as a cheesemaker and affineur precisely by developing "Steiner"'s recipe, conceived by his parents but revisited by him to adapt it to a small and soft cheese. This cheese therefore tells the story of the Steiner Family, from which the name of the cheese also derives: that is why it is considered the "first-born" |
| 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 | A cheese that supports strong pairings: a barrique-aged white wine, a Belgian beer or a good steak. Also delicious on bread and focaccia, paired with onion mustard; also interesting in cooked recipes, ideal to fuse! |

The producer
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.
