Monte Veronese

Monte Veronese is an Italian cheese made from cow's milk which is produced in the northern part of the province of Verona, more specifically in the Lessini Mountains or the Veronese prealps. Like Asiago it comes in two varieties, one fresh and one matured. Monte Veronese was awarded Italian denominazione di origine status in 1993 and European protected designation of origin status in 1996. The fresh Monte Veronese is made from unpasteurized whole milk (latte intero in Italian) and has a brief aging period, from a minimum of 25 days to two months. The paste is white or slightly yellowish in color, with fine and uniformly distributed eyes, and has a sweet, intense flavor.
