Montasio stravecchio

Faithful to their Friulian land and its products, once they had refined their expertise, they devoted themselves to the world of dairy and its products, among which Montasio stravecchio stands out. Montasio DOP is a mountain cheese, part of the classic traditional specialities of Friulian cheeses, and it surprises with its sweet and genuine character. Made with cow's milk from the DOP production area, its flavour changes according to the ageing. The flavour varies depending on the ageing, moving naturally from a soft and delicate taste (Montasio Fresco) to a much bolder flavour (Montasio mezzano). Montasio Stravecchio DOP is produced in Carnia. We are at 525 metres above sea level, using thermised raw cow's milk. This product has unique and essential characteristics, scrupulously controlled, verified and certified by the Consorzio Tutela del Montasio. The paste tends to be straw-yellow in colour. It shows small, well-distributed eyes throughout the paste. Depending on its ageing, it moves naturally from a soft and delicate taste (Montasio Fresco) to a much bolder flavour (Montasio mezzano), and even to a variant that reaches over 18 months (Montasio stravecchio). It seems like a different cheese altogether, different paste, different rind. With a slightly spicy yet captivating flavour. Full-fat cow's milk cheese, long-aged for at least 18 months, with a hard paste. Our Montasio has been awarded the Super Gold medal at the prestigious World Cheese Award SUPER GOLD AWARD WINNER
