Montasio Vecchio

Montasio is a creamy, unpasteurised cow’s milk cheese originating from the Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto provinces of Italy. It was initially a monastery cheese, but today, it is produced only in a specific region of Italy following age-old traditional methods. Depending on the ageing period, a minimum of 60 days up to 18 months, the flavour can vary from delicate when fresh (Fresco) to stronger and aromatic when mature. Montasio Stagionato (Vecchio) has a very strong and aromatic flavour. The cheese pairs well with Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. The varients are:Montasio Fresco, aged at least for 60 daysMontasio Mezzano, aged at least 120 daysMontasio Stagionato or Vecchio aged at least 10 monthsMontasio Stravecchio, aged for at least 18 months
