Cheese from Italy, Lombardy, the province of Sondrio
Bitto PDO and Storico RibelleBitto
Bitto is a cooked, raw-milk alpine cheese made only in summer on the high pastures of the Valtellina, from cow's milk with up to 10% goat's milk. The milk is renneted on the alp right after milking, the curd is cut to rice-grain size and cooked at 48–52 °C, and the wheels age at least 70 days and often for many years. Storico Ribelle is the Presidium version, with 10–20% goat's milk, no starters and at least 12 months of ageing. Made in 7 steps over 14 months – 10 years. The longest step, long ageing, takes 12 months – 10 years (Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity). The milk's own spontaneous cheese microflora, which the specification relies on in place of added starter does most of the fermenting.
none in the 1995 specification, which relies on the milk's own flora; the Presidium uses no starters

What makes this one different
Bitto is made only during the summer alpine season, from the milk of a single milking that is renneted on the pasture straight away, and the specification relies on the milk's own flora rather than starter. A little goat's milk sharpens the aroma, and the wheels can age for a decade.
Milk
Raw whole cow milk from one milking, up to 10% goat milk (10–20% for Storico Ribelle)
Season
Made only from 1 June to 30 September, while the herds are on the alps
Cooking
Curd cooked at 48–52 °C for about 30 minutes
Ripening
At least 70 days (PDO); at least 12 months (Storico Ribelle); can age for years
Composition
At least 45% fat in dry matter; average moisture 38% at 70 days
Bitto Prodotto d'alpeggioMade only on named high alps; the alp's name is stamped on the side
Storico RibelleSlow Food Presidium from the Gerola and Albaredo valleys; 10–20% Orobica goat milk, no fodder or supplements, no starters, at least 12 months of ageing
Safety
Bitto is a raw-milk cheese, but its curd is cooked at 48–52 °C and the cheese is aged at least 70 days. ANSES's advice that vulnerable people avoid raw-milk cheeses exempts cooked pressed cheeses of this kind.
The name comes from the Bitto valley and river. The cheese became a DOC in 1995 and a PDO in 1996. Makers in the Gerola and Albaredo valleys, the historic heart of the area, sell their cheese under the name Storico Ribelle as a Slow Food Presidium.
