Quick Facts Country of Origin: Italy Milk Type/Treatment: Raw Sheep/Cow/Goat Rennet Type: Animal The Flavor Experience Testun al Barolo, like the other Testuns exemplify time and place. Al Barolo serves as a snapshot of a particular point in the season when the ratio of milks is right and the grape harvest is underway. The grape must, left behind by the Barolo winemaking process is pressed into the rind to preserve moisture and to add the flavor of the cheese. The must overwhelms, but in a good way: the effect is sweet and intoxicating to the tongue.
