Division 2nd amendment

Current wording: ‘The milk intended for the PDO “Montasio” must not undergo pasteurisation processes and must be accompanied by a clearly positive phosphatasia analysis.’

Amended text: ‘The milk intended for the PDO “Montasio” must not be pasteurised. Any analyses carried out on the heat-treated milk intended for the production of the PDO “Montasio” must show a clearly positive reaction to the phosphatasia test.’

For several years cheese self-monitoring dairies have subjected the milk to a systematic check by recording the milk’s transitional temperatures each day. Thus, the phosphatasia test remains an analysis method used by the monitoring body to check compliance with the specification. This check is carried out on the basis of risk analysis.
