Latterie aperte in Valbelluna - dalla latteria alla tavola

Open Dairies in Valbelluna enhances the work of the cooperative dairies in the area by showcasing traditional processing methods still in use today, which determine the quality of the dairy products offered. With nearly 30 thousand quintals of milk per year, the dairy companies represent an invaluable socio-economic heritage to be preserved. There are over 50 varieties of cheese produced, including DOP (Montasio) and PAT: a basket of products of the highest quality, recognized on countless occasions thanks to local competitions (such as those promoted by the CCIAA of Belluno-Treviso) and regional ones (Caseus Veneti).

During the event day, the involved dairies are open to the public and offer demonstrations of their product processing at different times, presented by the cheesemakers and/or industry technicians and ONAF collaborators, guided tastings of cheeses from the dairies accompanied by wines from Valbelluna and beyond, and other quality products (such as the DOP Honey of the Belluno Dolomites, jams from local farms, and much more).

To enliven the day, folk groups, choirs, and other entertainers provide performances at the dairies. Additionally, themed dinners and lunches, led by the ONAF tasters from Belluno, will take place in the restaurants of Valbelluna in the days leading up to the event!
