HISTORY And CULTURE: It takes the name after the homonym village of the Tortorese (piedmontese territory that confines to south with Liguria and east with Lombardy) and, more precisely after the Curone valley, on the edge between the valleys Grue and Borbera. This cheese made of both cow and ovine milk boasts one ancient history: the first sure citation goes back to 1153, but it is probable that it has been born before. Secondly, at the end of the 1400's it was the only kind of cheese present in the wedding menu of Isabella of Aragon and Gian Galeazzo Sforza. Then in 1982, the last manufacturer decided to stop the activity. Thanks to the Slow Food Presidium, this cheese was literally resuscitated in 1999: two producers followed step by step Carolina Bracco, the last repository of the traditional dairy technique, have learned little by little this ancient technique of working.
DESCRIPTION: The curious shape as the wedding cake is inspired by the ancient tower of the country church. The crust initially smooth and humid, with the aging becomes drier and wrinkled; the colour goes from white to straw yellow. The dough, smooth or with rare holes, is white with different shadings.
