List of Italian cheeses

This page lists more than 1,000 types of Italian cheese but is still incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

This is an article of Italian cheeses . Italy is the country with the highest variety of cheeses in the world, with over 2,500 traditional varieties, among which are about 500 commercially recognized cheeses ^[1] and more than 300 kinds of cheese with protected designation of origin (PDO, PGI and PAT). Fifty-two of them are protected at a European level.
