Toniolo - Montasio DOP
500g
An authentic Italian semi-hard mountain cheese certified with Montasio DOP status. Produced by Lattebusche and distributed by Toniolo, this special "Prodotto della Montagna" edition is crafted exclusively from raw cow's milk collected, processed, and aged in high-altitude mountain municipalities (marked with the official "PDM" imprint and BL 502 code). Featuring a smooth, light-brown rind and a compact straw-yellow paste with small, even eyes, it offers a delicate, sweet, and pleasant milky taste with subtle herbaceous notes. Famous as the essential ingredient in traditional northeastern Italian Frico, it melts superbly into risottos, poly-cheese sauces, or pairs beautifully with fresh pears, honey, and crisp white wines.
