Curiosity:
The true Bagoss is only the one produced by the artisans of Bigolino from where it gets its name. The same old Bruna Alpina cows, the same grass from the pastures, and the antique experience of the dairymen has permitted this special cheese to survive up until now and become a Slow Food Presidium. Made from raw milk from cattle grazing on mountain pastures, this hard cheese must be matured for at least 12 months but on average is at least 24-36 months old. During agening, the cheese are brushed with raw linseed oil, which gives the rind an ochre brown colour.
