The characteristics of Montasio will vary with age. The flavour is
initially mild and delicate, when fresh, becoming gradually stronger
and more aromatic over time. Appearance typified by a compact white
paste with evenly distributed eyes, and a smooth supple rind; after
some months, the texture becomes grainy and crumbly, and the rind
drier and darker. Young or old, a cheese always at its best: good
to eat when fresh, ripened for just two months; good when mature,
between five and ten months; and equally good when aged beyond
ten months. Perfectly proportioned wheels, neither too big nor
too small, ideal both for the family table and for restaurant platters.
Perfect for all ages and constitutions too, and being easily digestible,
especially suitable for children and the elderly. Our cheese production
facility is identified TV649 by the DOP association.
