What Italian cheese does this Piedmont dairy make?

Piedmont, in north-west Italy, is one of the country's main cheese regions. Its protected designations include Castelmagno DOP, Bra DOP, Raschera DOP and Toma Piemontese DOP, and it shares Gorgonzola DOP with Lombardy. This dairy's own range is [TO CONFIRM: cheese styles and designations produced].

Where a cheese carries a DOP designation, the consortium rules fix the milk area, the method and the minimum ageing. The label then tells your kitchen what to expect before the wheel is opened.

The dairy works at family scale. Milk comes from [TO CONFIRM: own herd or local farms], and the cheese is made and aged [TO CONFIRM: on site or with an affineur]. The people who make the cheese are the people who answer questions about it.

How do hotel and restaurant kitchens use it?

Use depends on style and age. As a general guide:

• Younger, softer cheese: breakfast buffets, sandwiches, pizza and gratins
• Aged, firmer cheese: risotto, pasta finishing, cheese trolleys and wine pairing
• Blue cheese, where available: sauces, salads and cheese boards

Once the range is confirmed, we match a specific cheese to each outlet. Tell us the dish, the service style and the cover count, and we will propose a format.

Which formats and documents are available?

Formats for HoReCa supply are [TO CONFIRM: whole wheels, half or quarter wheels, wedges, grated or shaved packs]. Shelf life and storage temperature differ by cheese and are stated per SKU [TO CONFIRM: shelf life and storage per SKU].

Procurement and quality teams usually ask for the following. We confirm each one before a SKU is listed for your account:

• Export health certificate for UAE import
• Ingredient declaration, including rennet type [TO CONFIRM: animal, microbial or vegetable rennet per SKU]
• Designation paperwork for DOP cheese [TO CONFIRM: designations held]
• Arabic labelling as required in the UAE

Rennet type matters for halal-conscious menus. Many traditional DOP cheeses must be made with animal rennet under their rules, so we state rennet per product rather than generalising. Halal certification for this producer is [TO CONFIRM: certification].
