                Holders of Provolone Valpadana DOP piccante can request the Consortium, starting from the eighth month of maturing, to bear the \u201cPVS\u201d brand, an acronym for \u201cProvolone Valpadana Stagionato\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                In order to be able to boast the aforementioned brand, the cheese must pass a selective test which concerns the external appearance of the forms, the structure of the paste, the colour and the organoleptic test.<\/p>

                After the required requirements have been demonstrated, the qualification is attributed to the forms free from any defect, both external and internal, with the affixing of the \u201cPVS\u201d stamp and the \u201cProvolone Valpadana Stagionato\u201d certification is issued.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
