Potato of the Quartier del Piave

The Quartier del Piave potato is a horticultural product typical of the flat areas crossed by the Piave River, where sandy soils and a breezy climate create ideal conditions for quality cultivation. This potato is recognizable by its thin skin, pale flesh and versatility in cooking. It can be eaten boiled, roasted, steamed, or in salads, and is particularly valued for its digestibility and mild taste. Planting takes place in spring and harvesting between late summer and early fall, using minimally invasive methods. The Quartier del Piave, an area historically devoted to agriculture, has kept this crop alive thanks to the passion of local farmers and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge. The Quartier potato is often the protagonist of fairs and festivals, where it is offered in traditional dishes, a symbol of an agriculture rooted in the territory and popular culture.
