Casatella Trevigiana DOP, from the certified supply chain €3.7 million in the area

Protection consortium: "Cooperation and teamwork to protect our stables"
CSQA confirmed to carry out checks on over 280 tons of the certified supply chain

The Central Inspectorate for the Protection of Quality and Fraud Repression of agri-food products of Mipaaf (ICQRF) has renewed the authorization, with Ministerial Decree, to CSQA to carry out controls for the Protected Designation of Origin Casatella Trevigiana for the next three years.

Casatella Trevigiana PDO is a representative product of the rich basket of protected products of Veneto , a region that - exclusively in the food sector - can boast 36 PDO PGI products for an economic value of € 402 million generated by the work of 4,070 operators (Ismea-Qualivita 2021 Report Data).

Born from the ancient tradition of domestic dairy art, Casatella Trevigiana DOP can now count on a chain of 284 tons of certified production and 79 operators capable of generating 1.8 million € of production value , translated into 3.7 million € of consumption value .

To protect and enhance the excellence of Treviso, the Consortium for the Protection of Casatella Trevigiana DOP cheese has been present since 2001 and will also be busy in the coming months with projects in the areas of product promotion and enhancement, through the participation and organization of events and fairs, as well as through communication on the various media, web and social networks, actions that can also be carried out thanks to the contribution of organizations and institutions on the costs incurred.

The decision to reconfirm CSQA, the leading certification body in Italy in the field of Geographical Indications, is dictated by the desire to continue a long-established collaboration relationship, as stated by Lorenzo Brugnera , President of the Protection Consortium : "I underline the importance of controls along the entire production chain, primarily for consumer protection, as well as for enhancing the product. Casatella Trevigiana DOP is in fact a cheese strongly linked to the Treviso area, as all production, starting from milking to packaging, takes place within the province and this is certainly an added value and a guarantee of the quality of a product that is already truly exceptional in itself".

“ Our confirmation as a control body - underlines Pietro Bonato, General Manager and CEO of CSQA - is the result of the synergistic work carried out in terms of guaranteeing and enhancing this excellence, symbol of the Venetian dairy tradition. Casatella Trevigiana DOP was the first fresh Italian soft cheese to obtain recognition of the protected designation of origin, a product therefore a pioneer in protection and enhancement. We are therefore proud to continue on the path undertaken and of the renewed trust in CSQA".

The DOP Casatella Trevigiana confirms the value of the DOP IGP product portfolio certified by CSQA , which currently has 70 Geographical Indications : a figure that underlines the desire to increasingly accompany the development of quality agri-food supply chains, a symbol of Made in Italy and the vocation of the territories .
