Extra-aged Montasio PDO Cheese – Dairy PN208
The only PDO cheese from Friuli Venezia Giulia, it takes its name from Mount Montasio.
Naturally lactose-free, it is highly appreciated for its versatility, can be easily used on a cutting board or in the kitchen and is very easy to combine.
In a clever mix of its different ages, it is the main ingredient of the regional Friulian dish: frico.
After 18 months, it becomes Stravecchio (extra-mature). This type of aging is limited for Montasio, and only the finest wheels can achieve it. In the Del Ben selection, we have “reserves” aged over 48 months.
It’s remarkable how it manages to maintain a crumbly texture, a pleasant sweetness, a harmonious spiciness, and spicy and fruity aromas and flavors. A pleasant cheese that still retains its versatility.
It can be enjoyed as is, paired with honey or dried fruit. It’s also excellent grated and used to make crispy frico wafers.
NATURALLY LACTOSE-FREE. Contains galactose.
