To D.O.P. or Not to D.O.P?

That is the question. Name protection was designated by the European Union as a way for producers of traditional food products to band together and market more efficiently. In Italy the products are denoted as D.O.P (translating to Denomination of Protected Origin). Cheeses listed as D.O.P. simply mean that they come from a specific place and follow the traditional cheesemaking methods outlined for that particular cheese. Should you shy away from cheeses that don’t carry the coveted D.O.P. stamp? Not necessarily. The Quadrello di Bufala and Podda Classico are relatively new Italian cheese that are worth trying. They may not boast centuries of tradition, but they are quickly becoming among the favorite formaggi we can access from abroad.
