About Monte Veronese Cheese
When it comes to the first Italian cheeses that received DOP (Protected Designation of Origin), Monte Veronese is on top of the list because of its quality. The tradition of Monte Veronese goes along with its geographical heritage of the area between Monte Baldo and Monti Lessini. Verona is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, so it is not a surprise that the city is known for the best cheeses.
The history of cheese is as old as human’s history. Evidence can be found in its original name. “Caseus oculus” or “Caseus macaegus,” which is a typical Ancient Rome term that refers to the presence of several small holes in the inner part of cheese.
Monte Veronese cheese is so important that it did not only get DOP recognition in 1993 but also entered the prestigious Slow Food Products. Whenever there is a festival in Verona, you will see the tables filled with Monte Veronese cheeses. That is how important this cheese is.
The cow milk used to make Monte Veronese DOP came from the northern part of Province of Verona. The milk is fresh and organic.
For 25 to 30 minutes, the heated curd is left to rest and to extract the liquid part so that it remains only the solid part. Then it undergoes the salting process. Some can be served while others can be left to age. Some are left to mature for 30 days while the remaining are left to age for over 60 days.
These cylindrically shaped cheeses have a diameter of 25 to 35 centimeters and a height of 7 to 11 centimeters. The rind is thin and these cheeses come with a straw-yellow color, which becomes more intense as it aged. These cheeses have holes scattered across the inner part and the inside can be straw-colored or white.
Tastes the same as the semi-hard cow’s cheeses, these cheeses are delicate and pleasant. Thanks to the whole milk used to make these cheeses, the cheeses offer interesting yogurt scent.
