What is Casatella Trevigiana?
A delicate fresh soft cheese from the Treviso area of Veneto, made from whole cow’s milk. Produced in two sizes — small (100–300 g) and large (300 g–2 kg). Smooth, spreadable, and rindless. Aged for a minimum of 2 days for the small size and 4 days for the large size, making it one of Italy’s shortest-aged PDO cheeses.
Taste, aroma, and texture
Soft, moist, and gelatinous, with a remarkably smooth and silky interior. Spreadable and melts almost instantly on the palate. Rindless and pure white. Its soft, almost liquid consistency at room temperature is its hallmark.
Lactic notes are strongly dominant, among the freshest and most purely milky aromas of any Italian cheese. Fruity, animal, herbal, earthy, and smoky notes are all barely perceptible. Clean and dairy-forward.
