Raw whole cow milk mixed with sheep or goat milk is set with animal rennet at 35–37 °C in 35–40 minutes. The curd is cut twice, rested under the whey, then put into round moulds of three sizes and kept warm at 22–25 °C for 12–24 hours. After salting and a wash, 3 to 5 rounds of shrinking size are stacked into a tiered 'castellino' that ripens from 5 days to several weeks.
Total time across the recorded steps: 5.5 days – 6 days

Raw whole cow milk mixed with sheep or goat milk is set with animal rennet at 35–37 °C in 35–40 minutes. The curd is cut twice, rested under the whey, then put into round moulds of three sizes and kept warm at 22–25 °C for 12–24 hours. After salting and a wash, 3 to 5 rounds of shrinking size are stacked into a tiered 'castellino' that ripens from 5 days to several weeks. Made in 6 steps over 5.5 days – 6 days. The longest step, ripen and wash, takes at least 5 days (Regione Piemonte 2015) and runs at 12–17 °C (Regione Piemonte 2015).
Its tiered 'wedding cake' shape of stacked rounds is unique; one idea is that stacking kept small cheeses from drying out, another that it saved cellar space. It mixes cow milk with sheep or goat milk, and the tiers are washed while they ripen.
Rind
None when fresh; then a thin, slightly wrinkled white-straw skin (camisa), yellow-orange when washed
Size
Stacked tiers 9–17 cm across at the base and 3–10 cm high, 0.5–1.2 kg
Comodà (sott'olio)Very dry cheese with the rind removed, grated or crumbled and covered with olive oil in sealed jars; ONAF gives at least 6 months.
Safety
Made from raw milk and sold after as little as 5–6 days. The regional sheet finds no hazards beyond normal cheesemaking. ANSES advises pregnant women, people over 65, young children and people with weak immunity not to eat raw-milk cheese.
The first records date from the Middle Ages, and the cheese was once known around Genoa, Alessandria and Pavia. ONAF says making stopped after the Second World War; in 1999 a Slow Food member traced the last cheesemaker who knew the method, and the cheese came back as a niche product.
