Bagòss is a semi-fat cheese, made with raw cow’s milk.
Only the Bruna-Alpine breed is used.
The peculiarity of this cheese is the addition of saffron that will give the cheese the classic intense straw colour that becomes gold as it ages.
The legend says that in 1500 Bagolino bordered the Republic of Venice which sold goods all over the world.
The artisans wanted to create a special cheese to pay homage to the Doge of Venice and to make it special they added saffron which was NOT a local product but was a very refined and precious spice in Venice. They created a particular cheese, with a unique, unmistakable and inimitable flavour. The BAGOSS.
The cheese is characterised by compactness and small holes. The crust is regularly cleaned and oiled with linseed oil in order to avoid mould and to give the cheese its typical brown-ochre colour. Bagoss has a cylindrical shape and weighs around 17/20 kg, with a diameter of about 40/55 cm and its lateral surface measures 10/12 cm.
We, the Biemmi family, have selected a Bagoss with a maturation of 24 months for its characteristics, such as an intense and decisive smell and a pleasant and persistent flavour. It is considered a delicacy.
To fully enjoy its excellent characteristics, it is recommended to eat it au naturel accompanied by full-bodied red wines such as:
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
It is also used in many recipes such as:
homemade polenta with Bagòss
Bagòss risotto
Bagòss ravioli
Bagòss mereconde (a sort of meatballs)
