Cheese can be delicious, but also environmentally friendly and low-impact. This is the goal set by Latterie Vicentine, a goal they achieved as they were among the first Italian companies to receive the prestigious "Made Green in Italy" certification for their Fresh Asiago DOP and Mature Asiago DOP. Both cheeses achieved Class A classification, the highest level allowed by the voluntary scheme promoted by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security to promote products with low environmental impact.
Latterie Vicentine, the main producer of the Asiago Cheese Protection Consortium , has reached this important milestone, confirming its concrete commitment to environmental sustainability.
The Made Green in Italy label certifies products made in Italy that comply with specific sustainability criteria throughout the entire production process , from the use of ecological and recyclable materials to transformation processes, from eco-friendly packaging to corporate social responsibility.
The certification was issued by the independent body CSQA on the basis of an in-depth life cycle study ( LCA – Life Cycle Assessment ) conducted with the SSDA software, according to the Product Category Rules (RCP) approved by the Ministry.
The evaluation analyzed the entire supply chain : from milk production to processing in the dairy, from maturing to distribution, up to the use and disposal of packaging, attentive to maximum recycling.
