A Langa sheep

The sheep you are adopting is part of a Langa herd and its milk is used to make the “Tuma di pecora delle Langhe” (“Langhe sheep toma” cheese).

Ingredients: 100% sheep milk 
Peel: thin, completely edible
Paste: compact and white, yellowish white on the mottled surface
Ripening: approx. 10-15 days
Shape: flat, 10-12 cm in diameter each
Weight: average 250 gr. each

It is ripened at least ten days, which is the amount of time it needs to develop a thin peel that is safe to eat. Its paste is white and soft: the sweetness of milk is retained, yet it has a distinctive taste and aroma. Tuma di pecora delle Langhe cheese is a cheese that has always been made in the Langhe area. It is made by only using raw milk, with no lactic ferments nor additives but native whey. The result is a true taste of tradition.

THE MANUFACTURER

It is by sharing a remarkable amount of effort, commitment and a certain outlook on life with her family that Anna Maria Trombetta runs her farm in Alta Langa according to the principles of biodynamic farming. This land is particularly suited for sheep rearing and has its own breed, that is the Langa Sheep. Nowadays her flock is made of around 60 Langa sheeps, which are fed from pasture (from March-April), home-grazed hay and some barley. The result is milk of the highest quality, which is processed according to local traditional recipes to become cheeses whose sensory properties are ever changing as seasons develop.

At Fattoria Bronzetta the natural dry period being strictly respected, cheese is generally made from March to October.
