The milk must be produced, and the cheese produced and matured within the geographical area.

The cheese is obtained using primarily lactic coagulation with the addition of a small amount of rennet. The curd stays in moulds for 24 to 36 hours before being removed and salt added. The maturing process lasts for at least 10 days.
