There are no two cheese wheels alike…

“There are no two cheese wheels alike…
just as there are no two identical plants…
just as there are no two identical people!
It is diversity that makes things beautiful…”
(Renato Brancaleoni)

The Brancaleoni family has lived in Roncofreddo, in the Rubicone Valley,
for more than 250 years, always engaged in trade and commerce. This led them to embrace all the local traditions
connected with the challenging art of cheese preservation.

Rubicone Valley, Romagna: among the many delicacies born in this corner of the world,
Pit-Aged Cheese (“Formaggio di Fossa”) is its finest ambassador!
Visually, it is hunchbacked and strangely misshapen; its aromas are captivating, its flavors long-lasting,
its emotions generous, and it proudly accompanies dry pasta dishes.

This cheese is not just cheese..it is Romagna itself.
At Fossa dell’Abbondanza, however, it is not only about pit-aged cheese,
but also about many other cheeses… sheep’s, goat’s, or cow’s milk cheeses. You simply have to choose!
