A large semi-cooked wheel from the upper Val Brembana, made all year from raw whole cow milk of two milkings. The milk is warmed to 35–37 °C with rennet and a little starter, the curd is broken and semi-cooked to 45–47 °C, then hooped and pressed. Wheels are salted over 8–12 days and ripened at least 60 days, up to a year, with the rind cleaned and oiled.

A large semi-cooked wheel from the upper Val Brembana, made all year from raw whole cow milk of two milkings. The milk is warmed to 35–37 °C with rennet and a little starter, the curd is broken and semi-cooked to 45–47 °C, then hooped and pressed. Wheels are salted over 8–12 days and ripened at least 60 days, up to a year, with the rind cleaned and oiled. Made in 6 steps over 2.3 months – 12 months. The longest step, ripen in the casere and oil the rind, takes 2–12 months (Regione Lombardia) and runs at 7–13 °C (ONAF). Salt is 13–17 % (ONAF).
It was once a summer alpine cheese; after the Second World War it was made from whole milk all year. It is ripened in the casere of Branzi and sold in three grades marked on the wheel.
Size
Ø 30–40 cm, side 8–10 cm, straight or V-shaped; 12–15 kg
Grades
Sold fresco (red mark, 45–90 days), stagionato (brown mark, 91–180 days) and stravecchio (brown mark, 181 days or more) under the collective brand (ONAF sheet)
Output
About 500 wheels a day from three small and medium dairies (regional sheet)
StravecchioBrown mark; hard, brown rind, more piquant.
Safety
Made from raw milk, semi-cooked and ripened at least 60 days. Ageing alone does not make raw-milk cheese safe. The US FDA says 60 days may not eliminate or adequately reduce E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in raw-milk cheese, and Listeria may grow in some cheeses during ageing. ANSES names Salmonella, enterohaemorrhagic E. coli and Listeria monocytogenes among the bacteria found in raw-milk cheeses. It advises pregnant women, people over 65, young children and people with weak immunity not to eat raw-milk cheese, except cooked, pressed cheeses such as gruyère or comté. Do not assume this semi-cooked cheese fits that exception.
Branzi, a village of the upper Val Brembana, has held a cheese market and cattle fair since the early 19th century, and buyers from Bergamo and Brescia came for the cheese on 21 September. Whole-milk cheese was once made only in summer; in the valley a half-fat cheese was made so the cream could go into butter.
