Nostrale d'Alpe is an uncooked, pressed cow cheese made only from summer pasture milk in the Cuneo Alps. Raw milk is set at 32–37 °C in 45–60 minutes, the curd is cut to rice-grain size and stirred but never heated. It is pressed, broken by hand and pressed again for up to 12 hours, then salted and ripened from over 35 days to 12 months in alpine cellars.
Total time across the recorded steps: 37 days – 12 months

Nostrale d'Alpe is an uncooked, pressed cow cheese made only from summer pasture milk in the Cuneo Alps. Raw milk is set at 32–37 °C in 45–60 minutes, the curd is cut to rice-grain size and stirred but never heated. It is pressed, broken by hand and pressed again for up to 12 hours, then salted and ripened from over 35 days to 12 months in alpine cellars. Made in 6 steps over 37 days – 12 months. The longest step, ripen in alpine cellars, takes 35 days – 12 months (Regione Piemonte 2015) and runs at up to 12 °C (Regione Piemonte 2015). Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, the species most often isolated during manufacture, and Lactobacillus plantarum and L. paracasei, most often isolated from ripened cheese, in Castelmagno PDO, a related raw-milk cow cheese of the Cuneo valleys does most of the fermenting.
Unlike other alpine cheeses the curd is never heated. After the cut in the vat it is broken by hand once, sometimes twice, between pressings, and it is made only on the summer pastures. The regional sheet calls it the ancestor of the PDO Bra duro.
The regional sheet calls it practically the only cheese made in summer on the Cuneo pastures and the ancestor of the PDO Bra duro. The ONAF sheet says the method was handed down orally, and that breaking and pressing the curd several times kept the wheels in shape through small temperature changes in mountain cellars and on the way down to market. The regional sheet lists dairy books from 1981 to 2004.
