[[Image:Val Brandet cheese.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Val Brandet cheese]]
'''Region''': Lombardia

'''Milk''': Mixed

'''Raw material''': [[Cows' milk]] and [[Ewes' milk|ewes' milk]], [[Rennet|rennet]] and [[Salt|salt]].

'''Characteristics''': Height 8 cm; diameter: 10-15 cm; weight: about 1 kg; form: rounded; rind: reddish; flavour: from mild to strong depending on ageing.

'''Production area''': The area between Edolo and Passo dell'Aprica (Sondrio).

'''Production technique''': Similar technique to Casolèt. The [[Cheese|cheese]] is obtained from raw [[Milk|milk]] taken from two yields, the first of which is surface skimmed, whereas the second is used whole. The milk is heated to 35-36°C and the [[Rennet|rennet]] is added. Once the milk has coagulated (about 30 mi[[Nut|nut]]es) the [[Curds|curds]] are broken. During this phase, the temperature is raised to 37-38°C, stirring the curds constantly and breaking them up into nut-sized pieces. The curds are left to stand in the [[Whey|whey]] for about 15 minutes and then extracted and moulded into their characteristic shapes or placed in containers to drain. They are [[Salted|salted]] with [[Coarse salt|coarse salt]] or in [[Brine|brine]]. Ripening takes 20 days.

'''Ageing''': Approximately 30-60 days.
