Once again, it is doing so by joining forces with three other Italian PDO cheeses’ Consortia: Asiago PDO, Gorgonzola PDO, and Pecorino Sardo PDO. From today until April 20, the four iconic Italian cheeses’ Consortia will attend the Salon de Gourmets in Madrid, Spain’s leading fair dedicated to quality gastronomy, with their own booth located in the Italy Area (booths 8H20-3 and 4).
