| Montasio cheese.
It is a D.O.C. cheese, it takes its name from the Giulia Alps in Friuli, Italy where it was first produced in the 13th century in a convent. Made from 100% fresh cow's milk, this cheese is round and flat with a smooth clear color which browns slightly when aged. Montasio is aged about 60-90 days and is a pale straw yellow in color. Its characteristic flavor is mellow with a full-flavored finish and can be combined successfully with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, a few grapes or an apple |
