This page outlines, in a given period of time, the Italian production of PIAVEP.D.O. cheese, a quality typical cheese offered in various different types.
Production figures are represented, in the given period, on the table and the two graphs here below.
PIAVE Cheese is divided into four commercial types depending on their aging period:
PIAVE is a hard aged, cooked cheese (moisture less than 40%), in cylindrical shape.
Piave cheese has its name from the Piave river, flowing from the Dolomites mountains (Province of Belluno) Italy.
There is a strong link between the PIAVE cheese and land of origin since dairy farms as well as the milk collected come compulsory from the geographical area of the Province of Belluno. This cheese is produced in traditional 'malga' (typical shepherd's huts in the Alps mountains).
The PIAVE cheese can be easily identified by :
- the brand name stamped on the rind;
- a mark reporting the production lot;
- a silk paper placed on the upper side of the cheese wheel reporting the cheese name,variety and producer's name.
Although PIAVE cheese origin and consumption are traditionally restricted to a specific Italian geographical area, it has recently gained popularity on the international market.
