Bela Badia

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, 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.
