Montasio Cheese
Montasio is a creamy, unpasteurized cow’s milk cheese originating from the Friuli, Venezia, Giulia, and Veneto provinces of Italy.Awarded (PDO) protected designation of origin in 1986, this cheese is sold fresh, middle and aged depending on the aging time of 60 days up to 1 year. It was originally a monastery cheese but today it is produced only in a specific region of Italy following age-old traditional methods.
History: Montasio gets its name from the mountain of the same name, a group of mountains between the Resia valley and the Canale del Ferro (the iron channel) in the Friuli highlands and belongs to the large category of alpine cheeses. Originating around the year 1000, these cheeses served the purpose of storing an easily perishable product such as milk for periods when production was low or non-existent.
