Local Artisanal Cheese Dairy
Discover the flavors of Valmalenco at a local artisanal cheese dairy, where traditional methods are still employed to produce high-quality mountain cheeses like Bitto and Casera, alongside fresh ricotta. Visitors can often observe parts of the cheese-making process (depending on the season and schedule), learn about the aging process, and participate in guided tastings. These dairies, often family-run, highlight the agricultural heritage of the valley. Products are available for purchase directly. Tastings might be free with purchase or cost a small fee (€5-€10). Open predominantly during summer and autumn, but with a shop offering products year-round. Specific tour schedules should be checked in advance.
