This is to be replaced by: ‘Article 8 – Labelling The conformity mark constitutes a paper label affixed to one of the two flat sides of the cheese once it has ripened for at least 45 days, bearing a red mark (CMYK: C = 0, M = 95, Y = 85, K = 0 – image 1) for products made on the valley floor from 1 January to 31 December and a blue mark (CMYK: C = 98, M = 72, Y = 12, K = 0 – image 2) for products made on the mountain pastures between 20 May and 20 October.
In terms of design, in the centre there is a stylised drawing of a bell, which in turn has at its centre a wheel of cheese with a detached wedge.
Around the edge of the bell is written part of the name of the designation of origin, “Formai de Mut D.O.P.”, while along the inside edge of the circle containing the bell design the rest of the name can be found, “dell’Alta Valle Brembana”, along with the legal reference to the registration, “Reg.
C.E. 1107/96”.
Around the entire outside circumference there are 22 stylised bells enclosed by a further circle.
For the blue mark, the circle inside the 22 bells is replaced by the repeated words “d’alpeggio” [from the mountain pastures] (image 2).
For “Formai de Mut dell’Alta Valle Brembana” which has been ripened for more than 6 months, the mark has the same characteristics as described above, but with the word “Riserva” repeated around the circle inside the 22 bells (images 3 and 4).
