The tradition & historical record

1 min read · 2 sources

Bela Badia is an Italian cheese made from cow's milk. It has been recognized by the Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies as a prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale (transl. traditional agri-food product), abbreviated as PAT. Although the name recalls the Val Badia, it is actually produced in the Puster Valley, and in particular in Brunico, with cow's whole or semi-skimmed milk from mountain farms above 1000 m above sea level. It is a short-aged table cheese (20 to 100 days of ageing, typically 30), soft, with small, irregular holes. 1
