Piave PDO Vecchio Cheese

Piave PDO is a hard, cooked-curd cheese produced in the province of Belluno, the northernmost tip of the Veneto region, where fodder, rich in florets, gives milk particular organoleptic features. Today, it is still produced using the ancient rules of the dairyman's art.
Piave PDO Vecchio is aged more than 6 months. It has a compact, yellow-coloured curd and a full-bodied and slightly fruity flavour that makes it absolutely unique. For brand awareness and consumer protection, the brand is imprinted vertically, in alternating directions, over the entire rind. It also has a pelure paper label on one flat side, which indicates the aging of the product.
