The cheese museum is housed in an ancient "casello" dating from the early years of the 19th century and once owned by the Meli Lupi princes.
The curator is Mario Zannoni and visitors can drop by every Saturday and Sunday when it is open.
Entrance costs 5 euros and includes tastings of cheeses at different stages of the maturing process.
Also look out for superb gift ideas such as the classic "coltellino" or small knife used by the cheese producers to extract tasting samples from the 'rounds'.
