“Paglietta”belongs to the“Paglierina“ type cheese that is a speciality of the provinces of Turin and Cuneo,known bya variety of names, almost all based on paglia,the Italian term for “straw”.These cheeses not only share similar production processes, but also the interesting fact that they were formerly aged on straw mats (no longer used), which left characteristic stripes on their soft rind. This ageing technique also promoted the growth of whitish moulds on the rind. “Paglierina” is featured in the“Cheeses“ category of the list of Piedmontese Prodotti Agroalimentari Tradizionali (Traditional Agri-Food Products) (Regional Government Decree no. 46-5823 dated 15/04/2002)
