Vej

Vej is made with semi-skimmed raw milk, from the province of Cuneo. Externally, it has a hazelnut coloured rind, which develops thanks to the weekly treatments performed by our workers. Every form of Vej is in fact massaged with seed oil, maintaining a sufficient level of moisture to allow prolonged ripening. The cheese presents a compact texture, without any holes; it tends to flake and presents classic tyrosine crystals, indicating its advanced ripening. The colours of the cheese tend to become increasingly concentrated, just like the flavours, which intensify. Vej is excellent when paired with red wine, perfect when flaked over raw meat, a typical dish of this area.
