Located in: Cheese, Italy

The Alta Langa is an agricultural region located in the southern part of Piedmont, Italy. This region is famous for Barolo, Barbaresco and Asti wines and also produces a wide variety of wonderful cheeses. Bosina is a small town in the center of the Alta Langa, where this cheese of the same name is produced by hand from milk of the region's lush, green pastures. Bosina (the cheese) is produced from an old recipe using modern equipment. Only 100% natural ingredients are used, without adding preservatives, food dyes, or any artificial additives. Bosina is typically Piedmontese with a scent of the countryside. One bite of this cheese takes you right back to its homeland. It is straw-colored with a white exterior, offering delicate and harmonious flavors and rich fragrances. It is important to eat this cheese at room temperature to experience its full potential.

Comments about Bosina Robiola:

As a fan of tasty cheese to end a meal, Bosina Robiola represents the best alternative to a good and flavorful Brie.
You should have it in small quantities with dried figs and bread, or an onion/apricot/cherry chutney. Perfect with a bodily Barbera or Brunello. The best dessert you can ask for! Forget about sweets.

Sorry, I don't "Review" well...

Comments about Bosina Robiola:

This was wonderful on a cheese plate. It was a hit with all guests, even those who fear nontraditional cheeses. I prefer it to traditional brie, as it is not greasy at all, and mild, yet flavorful.

Comments about Bosina Robiola:

I was tired of just Brie but wanted the texture, so I tried the Bosina Robiola. It was extremely flavorful, smooth and almost buttery. The taste kept going on my tongue and finished with me cutting another piece because I couldn't get enough of the great taste. This is my favorite cheese ever.

Perhaps the best Bier Cheese!

By Karl der Gro?e

from Garmisch/Oberbayern ~ Princeton, MO on 3/6/2008

Pros:

Creamy, Delicate, Flavorful, Rich, Smooth

Best Uses:

As Dinner

Describe Yourself:

Cheese & Bier Addict

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Bosina Robiola:

This cheese arrived perfectly ripened. It is, perhaps, the best companion cheese to bier that I have ever add. Given the location of this cheese's production, it is not unthinkable that bier would be the condiment of choice. The best bier for the job is PAULANER PILS EXTRA DRY. Leave the cheese come to room temp and the bier to cellar temp. Purely sublime!! If you want a red wine, simple is best: Sicilian Table Wine is great... Ah, but the best bier cheese possible!

Gr?? Gott!

Comments about Bosina Robiola:

This Cheese is like a Brie that went to heaven. It's like a milder, younger version of Talegio, smells a little stinky but tastes mild and lucsious. We made it on a flatbread with herbs and Speck (lightly smoked prosciuto). It was fabulous and addictive!

Comments about Bosina Robiola:

I love this cheese along with anyother cheese that has a strong smell. This may not sound very nice, but the more a cheese smells like a barnyard the better it taste to me. I like your category of stinky cheese.
