Castelmagno DOP, the prince of Piedmont cheeses
Aged, crumbly and intense: authentic Castelmagno DOP from the Cuneo Alps, selected by LAPA and delivered fresh throughout Switzerland.
One of the oldest cheeses in the Alps
Castelmagno DOP originates in Piedmont, in the municipalities of Castelmagno, Pradleves and Monterosso Grana, in the province of Cuneo. A semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk, already mentioned in 13th-century documents.
The aging, from a few months up to over a year, gives it a crumbly, chalky and slightly blue-veined paste in the most mature wheels, with a strong taste that shifts from lactic to spicy. It is perfect as a table cheese with honey and walnuts, but it is also a protagonist in the kitchen: from gnocchi al Castelmagno to risottos, up to fresh pasta fillings. LAPA selects wheels from dairies in the DOP area and brings them to Switzerland keeping the cold chain intact.

An authentic mountain taste
Castelmagno DOP is a cheese with character: a crumbly and chalky texture, an intense aroma and a slightly piquant note in longer maturations. A rare product, tied to just a few mountain dairies.
LAPA brings selected wheels from the DOP area to Switzerland, both the whole wheel for catering and the practical quarter for those who want to enjoy it at home, always with a controlled cold chain.
