“Paglierine”denotes a traditional type of cheese with ancient origins from the provinces of Turin and Cuneo. These cheeses were characterized by their ageing process–probably carried out on straw racks, from which their name is derived–that left a characteristic striped pattern on their soft rind covered in whitish mould. At the end of the 19thcentury Cesare Quaglia, the owner of the dairy of the same name in SanFrancesco al Campo in the Torino area, gave the cheese the name “Paglierina” and registered it as a trademark. Today Caseificio Longo is the owner of the trademark. “Paglierina” is featuredinthe“Cheeses“ category of the list of Piedmontese Prodotti Agroalimentari Tradizionali (Traditional Agri-Food Products) (Regional Government Decree no. 46-5823 dated
15/04/2002).
