Сыр Piave производится в провинции Беллуно, расположенной в самой северной части региона Венето ( Италия), из молока коров, пасущихся исключительно на территории провинции Беллуно, с
additive starters, containing special autochthonous lactic acid bacteria obtained locally from raw milk or
whey, which is important for giving the cheese special taste qualities.
No other name would have been so successful for the most famous and
typical cheese Belluno, which leads with its history to the ancient cheese-making traditions of the land crossed by a majestic river.
The ripening period of cheese depends on the category: from 20 to 60 days for young, from 61 to 180 days for Mezzano (Mezzano - medium aging), more than 180 days for Vecchiio (Mature), more than a year for Vecchio Selezione Oro (Mature Golden Selection) and more than 18 months for Vecchio Riserva (Mature Reserve). Each of these categories is marked with a DOP sign
