The Piave Cheese
Piave cheese is produced by using milk exclusively from the Bellunese valleys collected from over 200 stables where cattle, primarily of the Alpine Bruna breed, are fed with local forage rich in inflorences which attribute particular organoleptic characteristics to the milk. Still produced according to ancient rules of the local dairy, captures all the intense and full-bodied flavor that grows with the advance of curing, preserving a particular note in the taste that makes it unique.
Piave cheese is offered in the three classic aging methods, in addition to a "selection" and a "reserve":
- fresco or fresh (20-60 days)
- mezzano or partially aged (61-180 days)
-
vecchio or aged (over 180 days)
- vecchio "Selezione Oro" (over a year)
- vecchio "Riserva" (over 18 months).
