WHAT PDO MEANS
Asiago is a PDO cheese, which stands for Protected Designation of Origin in Italian. This is the strictest form of identification within the European Union for agricultural products and foodstuffs. DOP certification is the best possible guarantee that the ingredients and processes involved in creating a product meet the highest quality standards.
DOP status is reserved exclusively for quality European agricultural products and foodstuffs which have close links with their territory and the people who are involved in each stage of their production process, right up to distribution which delivers the cheese onto the consumer’s table.
This means that only cheese which is produced, matured, packaged and distributed in compliance with the Asiago DOP Cheese Production Regulations is “Asiago Cheese”. All the rest is just “cheese”...
