About Casatella Trevigiana

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

On the plate

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

What to pour with Casatella Trevigiana

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Veneto

Local tradition

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.
