Among Lombardy’s mountain communities, Gerola Alta stands out for its long association with Bitto cheese, made in the high pastures of Val Gerola. The settlement lies in the Orobie Alps, in the upper valley of the Bitto stream, where summer grazing has shaped local life for generations. This is one of the historic areas linked to Bitto: the traditional cheese is made from cow’s milk, with the possible addition of goat’s milk, and is aged for long periods. Stone houses and narrow lanes give the compact centre a distinctly alpine character, while paths lead towards surrounding pastures and mountain terrain.
