Zanetti
| Zanetti Provolone Valpadana DOP Piccante is a semi-hard Italian cheese distinguished by its piquant flavor, derived from kid or lamb rennet paste that initiates lipolysis releasing volatile fatty acids. Produced primarily in Cremona within the Po River Valley, it carries EU PDO certification ensuring origin and traditional methods. Zanetti S.p.A., an industrial leader, uses pasteurized milk for export consistency and safety. The cheese undergoes a stretching (pasta filata) process, shaped into traditional forms, and aged at least 90 days. It has high protein and fat, is naturally lactose- and gluten-free, and pairs well with full-bodied reds, sparkling wines, beers, and sweet accompaniments. | |
