Made 100% from goat milk, boasting a buttery texture with a slight acidity

In Roncofreddo, in a marvelous landscape full of olive hills, you can find a family-owned cheese cellar called “Fossa dell’Abbondanza”. Here, the cheese artisan Renato Brancaleoni makes cheeses that express the characteristics of Roncofreddo. Meaning “Cheese of Silence”, “Formaggio del silenzio” is aged wrapped in a red wine-soaked linen, resulting in the cheese absorbing the fermented scent. While having a buttery flavor with a slight acid aftertaste typical of goat milk-based cheese, Formaggio del silenzio is a rarity with its white colored soft and delicate texture, being simultaneously matured and soft.

We recommend enjoying it simply as a table cheese accompanied with a glass of red wine.

Goat cheese is characterized by its slight acid and a refreshing taste, as well as by its brittle and fragile texture. Goat milk contains smaller fat globules compared to cow’s milk, making it easy to digest.

Cheeses are classified into soft, semi-hard, and hard cheeses depending on their water content. Semi-hard cheeses aging varies between one to six months, a process giving them a slightly hard and mild flavor. As these types of cheese melt easily when heated, they are very well suited for everyday use such as a panini ingredient or grated cheese in cooking.

Thanks to its heavy rainfall and blessed greenery and the plains of the Po river basin, Emilia-Romagna has long been a thriving dairy farm. Grana Padano and Parmigiano, which are the largest producers of Italian DOP cheese are representative of this region. Emilia-Romagna alone accounts for the majority of Italy’s total cheese production.
