Castelmagno Cheese. Price per 14/lb wheel. Castelmagno Cheese  DOP is a Gourmet Italian Cheese that comes from the name of a famous sanctuary dedicated to Saint Magnus, a Roman soldier who, legend has it, was martyred in the Cuneo mountains. Castelmagno cheese began to be made during the twelfth century, more or less at the same time as Gorgonzola with which it shares some similarities. Castelmagno is a cylindrical pressed, semi-fat semi-hard cheese tinged with blue mould. Castelgmano Cheese is made from cow's milk, though sheep's or goat's milk may be added. Castelmagno is made in a number of town districts in the province of Cuneo. Castelmagno Cheese PDO can be produced, matured and packed exclusively in the administrative region of the communes of Castelmagno, Pradleves and Monterosso Grana in the province of Cuneo . The milk intended for the processing must also come from the same communes.Castelmagno can boast the additional mention "Prodotto della montagna" (Mountain product) when the milk production, the processing and the maturing take place in classified areas such as the mountains. If, on the other hand, the castelgmano cheese is produced and matured in the identified area of production, but at an altitude of over 1000 m , it can bear the mention "di Alpeggio" (from mountain pastures).
