Plaisentif is the ancient "cheese of violets", produced from the end of the 16th century with raw milk obtained from the cows grazing in the pastures of Upper Chisone Valley and Upper Susa Valley in the period of the violet blooming (June-July).
The maturation of Plaisentif lasts 80 days, and it can be sold only on the third Sunday of September, on the occasion of the feast of "Poggio Oddone" in Perosa Argentina.
Plaisentif can be recognized from the letter "P" and from the logo, representing a stylized violet, branded on one of the sides of the round.
