Monte Veronese DOP a latte intero
Monte Veronese DOP Fresco, officially called “whole milk,” is distinguished by not being made with skimmed milk, unlike the “d’allevo” version.
This is a relatively recent innovation, developed to meet the growing demand for less matured cheeses, similar to that of other nearby cheeses, such as Asiago DOP.
However, the high quality of this mountain cheese is fully reflected in its “young” version as well.
