Alpine Cheese
Produced with fresh milk of our mountains
Traditional livestock farming leads in many places in South Tyrol to the production of a variety of dairy products, like cheese and yogurt. Even in Val di Funes there are still some farmers working the milk of their cows and producing high quality products. Alpine cheese from Val di Funes is made from delicious mountain milk. Depending on its fat content, there are different types of cheese. In small cheese dairies, directly on the farm or at an alpine hut, the cheese is made exclusively from natural, untreated milk.
In the heart of the Puez-Odle Nature Park lies Malga Kaserill/Kaserill Alm at 1,920 m above sea level, with a stunning panoramic mountain view. Thomas works the milk and makes different types of cheeses and yogurt, which can be tasted during a typical Tyrolean “Marende” snack. The various dairy products are also available for sale.
Also at the Gsoi Hof farm at S. Pietro, an old farmhouse of the 13th century, various dairy products are made by processing the fresh milk. In autumn, they open their traditional "Stube" where to enjoy homemade and agricultural products.
At the Bio-Hof-Käserei Petrunderhof farm at S. Valentino the milk is the raw material for different dairy products. They produce cream chees and semi-hard cheese, as well as yoghurt, from organic milk. Since 2015 the farm is classified as organic farm. Lydia would like to share her knowledge with interested people. Enjoy the fresh products at the weekly cheese tastings (in German and Italian language). It will be for sure an educational experience.
