The fossa cheese is a niche product because it is created by following three important rules: only spring plain cheese, three months of seasoning of cheese and pitting the cheese only in august, once a year.

These characteristics make it easily digestible and suitable for any diet: from teenagers to athletes, from elderly to everyone and every sedentary or intense lifestyle. The flavor is really intense, delicate and not aggressive (it received the denomination “Agreable” at Salone del Gusto in Paris).

It returns to the Formaggio di Fossa its original value, the one of the grounds in Mondaino, and makes the cheese a special food for every special moment. It’s ideal for the perfect body shape, for meditation and relax, and it has aphrodisiac suggestions not be ignored.

Formaggio di Fossa is also characterized by a logo that sums up the characteristics of the local territory: a wonderful sun, seems like a flower whose center is a seasoned cheese, with a characteristic straw yellow color.

The green background indicates the tasty grass on which the flocks graze in spring. The milk used for the cheese of Porta di Sotto it’s that one of April and May, when sheeps graze and absorb the most energy the sun gives to the nature.
