Graukase Cheese Soup from South Tyrol

In South Tyrol, cheese is a very important food; it is always served in the typical snacks accompanied by speck and bread. It is generally made with cow’s milk, but also goat or sheep; the milk must be processed within 24 hours of milking and large quantities are needed to produce cheese: 1 kg of cheese can require up to 12 liters of milk.

A typical cheese from this area is Graukäse, which is made from skimmed cow’s milk derived from butter production and is the base of an excellent South Tyrolean recipe, the Graukase Cheese Soup, the grey cheese from South Tyrol.
