MURAZZANO
The "Murazzano" cheese is made from sheep's milk, and may be integrated with dairy milk. It is historically produced in the Province of Cuneo and takes after the name of the Municipality of Murazzano which is the main centre of production.
One of the popular legends tells of a raven which stole some robiole from a young man whose mother asked him to watch over them, The boy ran after the raven up to the fort of Ceva, the refuge of demons and witches. It was there that Satan tried to drag the boy to hell but he managed to recover his robiole cheeses and save himself.
Through the years the product maintained its particular characteristics which are the fruit of the Piedmont environment's climatic conditions which also affect the fodders with which the cattle and sheep are fed.
In the past it was produced exclusively with sheep's milk, but today this variety is produced in limited quantities and is thus, also more prestigious.
