Piave Mezzano DOP 250g

Piave Mezzano DOP 250g

The Piave Mezzano DOP is the most famous of the typical cheeses from Belluno. Born from the experience of local master cheesemakers, it is still produced today in accordance with traditional methods.

Thanks to the processing and the quality of the raw materials used, since May 2010, Piave cheese has been granted Protected Designation of Origin (DOP).

It has a sweet and intense flavor that intensifies with the aging process. In this aging, which lasts from 60 to 180 days, the rind is thick, consistent, and tends toward brown, while the paste is straw-colored.

Piave cheese is produced exclusively in the province of Belluno, located in the northernmost part of Veneto and wedged between Trentino Alto Adige and Friuli.

Piave is made with whole pasteurized cow's milk collected exclusively in the Belluno valleys from typical local cattle breeds, including Bruna Italiana, fed with local forage rich in flowers that give the milk specific organoleptic characteristics.
