Cheese · DOP · Veneto
A fresh cow's milk cheese from The whole province of Treviso.
A soft fresh cheese of the Marca Trevigiana made from whole cow's milk of specified Italian breeds. It is moulded in cylinders, salted and ripened only 4 to 8 days. Two sizes exist: the small form is 5 to 12 cm across and 200 to 700 g, the large 18 to 22 cm and 1.8 to 2.2 kg. Qualigeo finds written evidence from the seventeenth century, and a gift of 24 forms to the Doge in 1789.
Made in: The whole province of Treviso
A soft paste with a delicate scent and a sweet taste, and no rind or one barely perceptible, per Qualigeo. It suggests grilled Radicchio Rosso di Treviso, polenta, or fruit mostarda.
Rind: none, eaten fresh
Wine and cheese
Qualigeo says Casatella goes well with white and sparkling wines such as Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco. The cheese is soft, sweet and milky, and a dry Valdobbiadene's acidity and fine bubbles cut the creaminess between bites.
