On the occasion of the third year of the Nice To Eat EU project, the Consortium for the Protection of Piave PDO cheese has turned the spotlight on Munich, Germany to disclose and appreciate all the peculiar characteristics of the typical PDO product from the Northeast of Italy.
The event was organized to enhance the history and flavors of this typical cheese from Northeastern Italy, with a specially dedicated menu and a staff of professionals on-site to tell and explain every aspect of the product: from the production area to the processing techniques, from the characteristics of the cows’ breeds that produce the milk to the different maturation periods. There was also a look at the activities of the Consortium, always committed to the defense of the product from counterfeiting and to the enhancement of its unique characteristics.
