Piave Vecchio

The Facts

Country: Italy
Milk Type: pasteurized Cow
Age: 10-12 Months

Tasting Notes:

An aged cheese from Italy, with a texture similar to Parmigianno—but a little creamier. This cheese features tones of hazelnut, with a citrus finish. A great cheese to serve with your antipasto before a meal, or to grate into pasta.

Produced with milk from the Bruna Alpina breed, which feeds on the surrounding mountain pastures and creates a rich high protein milk. This lends to the sweet, nutty and fruity flavours of Piave. We stock two types, Vecchio which is aged for 10-12 months and Stravecchio which is 12 months+ with a much drier, harder texture.

Piave Vecchio is a DOP protected cheese produced in the Dolomites area of Belluno province of Veneto.

Our cheese mongers hand cut every cheese to order. We will always try to cut the exact weight ordered, however your piece might be slightly over or under the amount listed. But please know that we cut it freshly and specifically for you.

If you order several cheeses, we will usually make up for shortcomings on weight, if any, on the other cheeses ordered.

All cheeses are wrapped in special cheese paper and sealed to preserve freshness during transit.
