Castelmagno

Castelmagno is an Italian cheese originating from the Piedmont region. It has a protected designation of origin status in the European Union. Castelmagno is a cheese which has been made for many centuries: the earliest known mention of it dates to 1277, when there is a record that Castelmagno was given as payment to the Marquis of Saluzzo in exchange for use of pasture lands in Castelmagno and Celle di Macra. The cheese has traditionally been made in the Valle Grana, in the southwest of the province of Cuneo, where production is permitted today within the boundaries of the comuni (municipalities) of Castelmagno, Pradleves and Monterosso Grana.
