Camembert dell’Alta Langa
Semi-aged soft cheese with an edible bloomy rind, wrinkled and tender. The fine, compact paste enclosed by a surprisingly creamy layer under the rind reveals sensations of fresh milk, hay, and straw, with a slight barnyard note — the result of a careful blend of three milks.
Camembert dell’Alta Langa is distinguished by its edible, wrinkled, and tender rind, which encloses a fine, compact paste with a surprisingly creamy and slightly ammoniacal layer under the rind.
The careful blend of three milks — cow’s, goat’s, and sheep’s — builds remarkable aromatic complexity, enhanced by a skillful aging process.
On the palate, sensations of fresh milk, hay, and straw emerge, accompanied by a slight barnyard note that lends character and depth.

What the palate reveals
Beneath the bloomy rind lives a paste that surprises: creamy under the surface, rich with hay and straw in the body, with a finish of slight barnyard notes.
Sensory Profile
Aromas: On the nose, hints of fresh milk and cream emerge, with notes of yeast and, from aging, hay, straw, and a slight note of game. The layer under the rind offers a slightly ammoniacal nuance, typical of bloomy rind.
On the palate: In the mouth, the paste is tender, fine, and compact: the blend of three milks offers a richer profile compared to a traditional Camembert. The ammoniacal note integrates harmoniously into a persistent finish.
