Montebore is a very rare and sought-after raw cow and sheep milk cheese with a characteristic pyramid shape with a round base.
It is produced as per production regulations only in a small area of Piedmont, the territory of the Terre del Giarolo mountain community, where the Cascina Boschetto farm is located, which raises its animals outdoors in the hills of Stazzano in the province of Alexandria.
Montebore is included in the list of traditional agri-food products (PAT).

| Organoleptic profile | It is a natural flowery rind cheese, without the addition of Penicillium, and matures at least 15/20 days before being put on sale. Tasted alone, it delicately expresses its aromatic complexity. The sheep's milk of which it is composed is easily recognizable and the ivory-white colored rind tends to a deep straw yellow with aging, expressing its characteristic hints of damp hay and mushroom on the nose, soft in short maturations, crunchy in the more mature forms. |
| Method of conservation | Keep in a cold and dry place |
| Recommended combinations | It is appreciated as it is as a cut cheese in purity or combined with delicate fruit compotes. In the kitchen it is an indispensable ingredient for creaming risottos and fondues. If you forget a piece in the refrigerator, don't be afraid to enjoy it! In fact, the most seasoned product (about three months) characterized by a pleasant spicy and savory note, lends itself to being tasted with a tear of chestnut honey. Products with a much longer seasoning are excellent for grating! |

Tra i tanti prodotti agroalimentari di cui vado sempre alla ricerca, principalmente per la mia grande passione e curiosità , ci sono sempre quelli più particolari e maggiormente rappresentativi di ogni territorio.
Nel nostro panorama caseario nazionale ce n’è uno in particolare ed è tra i formaggi più rari e buoni che io abbia mai assaggiato, il Montebore. Un prodotto di eccellenza dell'azienda agricola Cascina Boschetto
Il "Montebore" è un rarissimo e ricercato formaggio a latte crudo vaccino e ovino quasi scomparso negli ultimi decenni. Viene prodotto come da disciplinare di produzione da Cascina Boschetto in una piccola area del Piemonte. Ringrazio personalmente i titolari dell'azienda agricola che mi ha aperto le porte in una calda giornata d'autunno dello scorso anno. Pascoli e caseificio si trovano tra le colline e i boschi di Stazzano in provincia di Alessandria, nel crocevia tra la Val Curone e Borbera vicino a Serravalle Scrivia. Un luogo dove la natura prevale sulla presenza umana e dove gli animali sono allevati all'aperto. La lavorazione della preziosa materia prima avviene esclusivamente con metodi artigianali, seguendo i dettami dell'antica tradizione.
