Monte Veronese is a semi-hard hard cheese from the northern Italian province of Verona . The first mentions go back to the early 11th century and are attributed to the Cimbri who immigrated from Bavaria . The cheese was so popular at that time that it was even accepted as a means of payment. However, the name refers to the province, although the milk comes exclusively from the Lessiniatal . The production of the cheese is already documented in the Middle Ages, but it has only been produced and sold under the name Monte Veronese since the early 18th century.
Areas of origin
The Monte Veronese may only be produced in the territory of the province of Verona by members of the consortium. This was confirmed by the EU with the recognition of the DOP / PDO .
Storage and consumption
The Monte should be kept in the refrigerator at a temperature of around 4 ° C. It is advisable to keep the cheese locked in cling film to prevent it from drying out and to prevent the taste from being passed on to other foods. The cheese should be consumed at room temperature.
