Piave DOP is the most famous of the typical cheeses from Belluno. Born from the experience of local master cheesemakers, it is still produced today respecting traditional methods. Since May 2010, Piave cheese has obtained the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP). It has an intense flavor that intensifies with aging. The aging, which lasts at least 12 months, gives it a thick, firm rind tending to brown, while the paste is straw-colored. Piave DOP cheese is produced exclusively in the province of Belluno, located in the northernmost part of Veneto, wedged between Trentino Alto Adige and Friuli. Piave DOP is made with whole pasteurized cow's milk collected exclusively in the Belluno valleys from typical local cattle breeds, including the Bruna Italiana, fed with local forage rich in inflorescences that give the milk particular organoleptic characteristics.
