Dense and hard, breaks in clean flaky shards under the knife with the start of fine crystal crunch through the paste.
Bold and savory up front with a sweet, fruity pull underneath. Sits in that grana-family zone where the salt and umami are doing real work.
Long, lingering close on melted butter and toasted almond that holds on the palate well past the swallow.
Most of the fresh milk has been driven off in aging, but a melted-butter richness still sits on the tongue.
Bitter almond and brown butter through the middle, with a roasted depth that builds as you chew.
A quiet savory undertone, more dried-grass and pantry than mushroom or barnyard.
Gentle savory warmth on the back palate, no real piccante bite.
Natural rind
Hard, dry natural rind with the Piave name printed around the wheel. Inedible, but worth saving a piece for the broth pot.
Piave stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.
The sweet-savory paste lines up with the dark fruit of Veneto reds from its own backyard, and a glass of Prosecco cuts the richness when you're snacking.
The tropical-fruit and almond notes love sweet partners. A drizzle of honey or a spoon of fig jam pulls the fruit forward, while aged balsamic mirrors the savory depth.

Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
