Tolmin cheese from the So\u010da Valley is not an industrial product. Local farmers follow centuries-old methods passed down through generations. Milk comes exclusively from the Upper So\u010da Valley, and cheesemakers slowly mature each wheel for rich flavour. Each wheel tells a story of mountain life, seasonal rhythms, and respect for nature, earning Tolminc its protected designation of origin.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#a0c926″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”1280px” custom_width_px__hover=”1080px” custom_width_px__hover_enabled=”1080px” custom_width_percent__hover=”80%” custom_width_percent__hover_enabled=”80%” global_colors_info=”{}” use_custom_width__hover=”off” use_custom_width__hover_enabled=”off” width_unit__hover=”on” width_unit__hover_enabled=”on” make_fullwidth__hover=”off” make_fullwidth__hover_enabled=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”33px” text_line_height=”1.1em” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_font_size=”62px” custom_margin=”||-19px|||” custom_padding=”||29px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]
