Montasio DOP Vecchio , produced by Latteria d'Aviano , is one of the dairy gems of Friuli Venezia Giulia . This cheese, which takes its name from Monte Montasio, represents a centuries-old tradition of quality and artisanal passion. Its long maturation, more than 10 months, gives Montasio Vecchio a unique and complex flavour, which distinguishes it from other Montasio varieties.

During maturation, the structure of the cheese becomes harder and the characteristic tyrosine crystals begin to appear, which give a pleasant sensation in the mouth. The aromatic profile evolves with notes of butter, dry vegetables, hay, toasted and a touch of fruit, enriched by a light spiciness that balances the natural sweetness of the cheese.

Montasio Vecchio is naturally lactose-free and fits perfectly on a tasting platter, but is also versatile in the kitchen. It is the main ingredient of the traditional Friulian frico , and pairs beautifully with dry, young red wines such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
