Azienda Agricola Ponte Vecchio

Pianezze is a beautiful town located in the Monte Cesen district in the province of Treviso, a few kilometers from the Valdobbiadene area. The Ponte Vecchio Company manages Malga Mariech from which it obtains excellent cheese aged in ancient tuff cells. In addition, a new but very pleasant product like Piccolo Mariech with a unique lactic pleasure deriving from its freshness and medium aging.

The story of &' Azienda Agricola Ponte Vecchio begins at an old mill located near the bridge that, crossing the Piave, connected the Treviso plain to Valdobbiadene. It was there, in 1979, that Floriano Curto founded his company. Today Ponte Vecchio indicates the place where the first wooden bridge was built to cross the Piave river, started in 1871 and then completed during 1876. Unfortunately, at the end of the 19th century, the bridge was repeatedly destroyed by the frequent floods of the Piave and was then permanently demolished in 1912.

In 1911, however, another large stone bridge was inaugurated, which unfortunately had a short lifespan because it was undermined by Italian soldiers, who retreated after the defeat of Caporetto in &' October 1917, who wanted to destroy it to prevent the Austrians from crossing the defensive line attested on the Piave line. As soon as you cross the river you will then find L&' Ponte Vecchio Farm, located in a very particular and suggestive territory precisely because of the beauty of its rural landscape but also rich in history and traditions.

MARIECH HUT

A territory that rises above Valdobbiadene and that has historically always been linked to herding and to &' dairy cow farming. The recently renovated Malga is also a place to start beautiful excursions, hikes to &' open air and location with suggestive rooms. The cheeses that are produced with local milk are particularly colored yellow and are predisposed to long refinements, even becoming usable for grating.

In fact, Azienda Agricola Ponte Vecchio has been living and working with nature for generations. It is a dynamic reality that develops in step with new modern production technologies that allow us to face new scenarios, but always attentive to environmental sustainability and to constantly maintaining the visceral bond that it maintains with its territory and its traditions, an element of which Malga Mariech is precisely l&' the most representative example.

The careful and respectful management of its land, which includes numerous pastures and woods, makes it possible to guarantee the best and safe products for feeding the animals that it has always raised with dedication and passion and that for many years have allowed Malga Mariech to produce extraordinary cheeses in terms of quality and taste. This commitment is confirmed by the continuous improvement of production, quality and welfare of its animals and by the growing success in the national and international fields.

In fact, Malga Mariech has won numerous awards for the cheeses it produces thanks to the direct transformation of the milk they produce. For years, in fact, the milk produced by Malga Mariech has been transformed directly to &' inside a modern and functional dairy that, responding to the strictest European health regulations, enhances the goodness and genuineness of traditional
