In September 2025, we tasted three exceptional pieces of Storico Ribelle: 1) Storico Ribelle Slow Food Presidium 2013 Alpe Ancogno Soliva - 140g. 2) Storico Ribelle Slow Food Presidium 2024 Alpe Valvedrano - 250g 3) Storico Ribelle Slow Food Presidium 2024 Alpe Trona Vaga - 250g. The last two have a smooth, short-aged cheese flavor and fully meet our expectations for freshness, even when paired with chestnut honey. The first piece of Storico Ribelle is a triumph of bold, intense flavors, and, paired with cherry jam, it greatly exceeded our expectations; the price paid is commensurate with the pleasure of savoring this precious cheese with a glass of excellent wine, as well as the great work and love that goes into its making. Thank you for the care and professionalism you show.

An experience, even more than a masterful place. After reading about its history and project in Gambero Rosso, I decided to visit it personally and also have a tasting. Located in the center of town at about 1,050 meters above sea level, we were greeted with great kindness and availability. We asked if we could do a tasting and entered a world we had never experienced before. We tasted two Bitto cheese platters: one with three samples, one fresher in terms of ageing, and one more mature in terms of ageing. The small fork bearing the year and mountain pasture of origin was charming and charming. I recommend this extraordinary experience to everyone. But the charm of this place doesn't end there: you can request to tour the entire Bitto collection accompanied by the creator of this magnificent project. He will transmit so much passion as he explains the idea and the goal behind this extraordinary challenge.

Must stop if in the area to enjoy this unique place and of course eat some superb cheese; expensive though 😋

I found it by chance, where I discovered their shop and production of the historic Bitto, the ORIGINAL one, prepared according to centuries-old recipes. For this reason, they had to diversify from the well-known name, and today a small group of farmers produces under the "Ribelle Storico" brand. Here, you'll find cheeses aged 10 years and more. You can taste the cheese pyramid, accompanied by a good glass of wine. Of course, you can take a tour of the cellar to admire the aging cheeses, including the oldest one from 1996. Recommended

A must place to taste an incredible cheese...

Gaetano La Montagna

A hidden treasure chest. This is the powerful impression this place evokes, where the historic Bitto is produced, known as "rebel" for a series of historical reasons that the gracious owners will gladly share with you, taking you to their cellar where the dairy jewels of this ancient tradition are kept. In addition to selling Valgerola delicacies, tastings are also available on-site by reservation only; a magical experience. Here, words stop; only taste can transcend. Useful information: the road to Gerola is not easy, especially when it snows. There is a small parking lot in front of the shop. The Bitto cheese produced here can also be purchased directly in Milan at Peck.

The cellar tour was a very interesting experience but the tasting notes of the cheeses from 3 months age to 7 years, with local wine, was absolutely lovely

Posto caratteristico dove si può ancora vedere e assaporare i profumi e i prodotti tipici valtellinesi come il vero bitto, bitto storico ribelle, salumi e prodotti a km 0. Consigliato per aperitivo o degustazione!

Ottimo formaggio. La loro specialità è il “bitto”. Se siete un milanese come me armatevi di pazienza perché sono piuttosto lenti a servire. Prezzi alti.

Nice place, friendly staff. The cheese is excellent, but the prices are too high... More expensive than the cheese is the drink. A 750cl beer costs €20! So much for slow food. The concept is good, but it's also right not to take advantage of the consumer. You pay for the tasting, and you also pay the €1.50 cover charge per person🤨... Almost €50 for 2 adults and 2 children. The tour is free and fun. It's interesting to see how people pay a lot of money and leave the cheese there to age so they can show off the cheeses.
