Toma Piemontese
Food · PDO · 886 municipalities
Recognised as a protected designation of origin since 1993, Toma Piemontese DOP is distinguished by a striking geographic paradox that sets it apart from other regional cheeses. Its official production zone covers a vast territory spanning 886 municipalities across Piedmont, beginning alphabetically with Acceglio. However, while the Consorzio per la Tutela del Formaggio Toma Piemontese oversees this enormous geographic area, the actual right to produce the certified cheese is held by only 9 verified producers. This extreme concentration of makers within an otherwise massive designated zone defines the modern reality of this Piedmontese classic.
