Rosso di Langa

A washed-rind cheese with Annatto, a natural plant-based dye used for centuries to protect and color the surface of cheeses.

Sweet and creamy, with delicate hints of cooked milk and fresh grass — an immediate, generous, and versatile cheese.

Rosso di Langa is immediately recognizable by its red-orange rind, obtained by washing during aging with Annatto, a natural plant-based dye that protects the surface without altering the aromatic profile.

The creamy, hole-free paste reveals delicate hints of cooked milk and fresh grass, clean notes that open into an enveloping sweetness without any sharp edges.

The savoriness of the sheep’s milk emerges gracefully on the finish — an immediate, generous, and versatile cheese that surprises with its delicacy compared to its bold appearance.
