The rich taste from the Dolomites

The Piave Vecchio is an iconic Italian cheese that originates in the province of Belluno, located at the foot of the impressive Dolomites. The cheese is named after the Piave River that flows through this region. The authentic Piave cheese has a protected designation of origin (DOP), which guarantees that it is exclusively produced in this specific area and according to strict traditional methods.

What makes the Piave Vecchio so popular is its full, sweet and intensely fruity flavor that never becomes too sharp. The term 'Vecchio' means that the cheese has matured for at least six months. During this time, the cheese develops a firm, crumbly structure that is strongly reminiscent of a young Parmesan, but with a much rounder and softer finish. The cheese is extremely versatile in the kitchen: delicious in cubes with a good glass of red wine, but also perfect for grating fresh over pasta dishes, risotto or a fresh salad.

Freshly cut from the knife for optimal quality

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this authentic Italian cheese with the greatest care. We only cut your piece of Piave Vecchio fresh from the large cheese wheel the moment you place your order. Immediately after cutting, the cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To protect the delicate structure and the rich aromas during transport, we always ship your order with a cooling pack as standard. This way you are guaranteed to enjoy the very best quality at home.

Frequently Asked Questions about Piave Vecchio

Can I use this cheese as an alternative to Parmesan?

Absolutely! Piave Vecchio has a similar hard structure and is excellent for grating. Because it has a somewhat sweeter and rounder flavor, it gives a surprising and tasty twist to dishes where you would normally use Parmesan cheese.

Is this cheese made from raw milk?

No, the Piave Vecchio is produced with pasteurized cow's milk. This means that the cheese can be safely consumed, including by pregnant women.

Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?

No, animal rennet is used in the traditional preparation of the Piave Vecchio. As a result, the cheese is unfortunately not suitable for a strict vegetarian diet.

Do you also sell other Italian cheeses?

Absolutely! In addition to the Piave Vecchio, we have a very wide range of the tastiest cheeses from Italy. View our complete category Italian Cheese to discover all our Mediterranean seasonings.
