Cow’s milkcheeses
With its typical delicate and rounded flavour, cow’s milk is the most utilized in the production of Italian cheeses. It can be transformed into authentic masterpieces in the art of cheese-making, such as Gorgonzola and Taleggio, the two jewels in the crown of the House of Defendi.
The milk used by Defendi is of high quality and comes only from selected 100% Italian farms. The processing, aging and addition of lactic acid bacteria and selected moulds define the goodness, aroma and characteristic flavours of the cheeses. An irresistible flavour and a healthy and wholesome food.
