Bra cheese

The Italian cheese Bra originates from the town of Bra, in province of Cuneo, in the region of Piedmont.

Production of Bra may take place all year, but it may only legally take place within the province of Cuneo.

However, aging may also take place in Villafranca, in province of Turin.

It may be served as a soft or hard cheese, depending on the length of aging, from at least 45 days for soft cheese, to six months for hard cheese.

Bra has PDO status under European Union law.
