Monte Veronese DOP

Fresh Monte Veronese is officially called ‘full fat milk’ since, in contrast to the ripened version, it is not made with skimmed milk.  It is a fairly recent introduction that has been created in response to the overwhelming demand for less matured cheeses (as has happened with other cheeses produced nearby, such as Asiago). Nonetheless, the high quality of this mountain cheese is equally present in the ‘young’ version.
