What is Bitto?
Bitto is an Italian summer cheese, fat, cooked and semi-hard, produced in Valtellina (Lombardy). It owes its name to the Bitto river, a stream that originates in Gerola Adda and after only 16 km (near Morbegno) flows into the Adda river.
The Bitto production area includes various territories in the province of Sondrio (from the Spluga valley to Livigno, some municipalities in the Brembana Valley, Gerola Alta, Albaredo and the San Marco valleys).
