Montasio P.DO

A semi-cooked PDO cheese made from cow's milk in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region and part of the Veneto. The paste is firm and straw-yellow, with small, regular eyes. The flavour develops with ageing – mild and milky in younger wheels, becoming progressively more pronounced and savoury in aged ones. Versatile in the kitchen, it is excellent both as a table cheese and melted into hot dishes, and pairs with nuts, honey and structured white wines or medium-bodied reds.
