An authentic journey into the taste and history of Storico Ribelle
You will be welcomed into the charming Casèra of Gerola Alta, at 1050 meters above sea level in the heart of the Orobie Alps, and guided to discover the secrets that make Storico Ribelle one of the world's longest-aged cheeses, capable of maturing for over ten years.
After exploring the aging cellars, where thousands of wheels rest and slowly refine, a unique tasting of this extraordinary cheese awaits you, accompanied by a glass of Alpine Nebbiolo, in perfect pairing.
Valli del Bitto Spa: custodians of ancient knowledge
The company Valli del Bitto Spa was founded as a concrete gesture of solidarity in support of Storico Ribelle, a symbolic cheese of the Orobie, an emblem of a cultural heritage to be protected. This unique product embodies traditions handed down through generations, farming knowledge, ancient techniques, and a deep connection with nature.
The company now brings together about ten producers who continue to make Storico using the traditional method. Each member commits to respecting centuries-old practices in summer transhumance and delivers their production to the Bitto Center of Gerola Alta.
On the ground floor of the Center are the shop and the tasting area, where you can buy Storico Ribelle by the slice, Latteria Invernale cheese, fresh maschèrpa in the summer months and aged in winter, Principi delle Orobie cheeses, and raw unpasteurized butter, available only in the winter season.
The tasting room offers the opportunity to experience the “vertical tasting of Storico”, accompanied by a selected glass of the best Valtellina wines. By reservation, it is also possible to taste Storico Ribelle in traditional local recipes.
Finally, on the lower floor, you can visit the charming cellar, which holds over three thousand wheels of Storico from different vintages. Here, the cheese slowly refines, thanks to constant and expert processing, until it reaches its full maturity.
