Montasio P.D.O.

Montasio is a very old cheese, its origins dating back to the 13th century, when the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Moggio Udinese created this PDO from milk derived from animals fed in mountain pastures. Historically if traces of it can be found in an ancient price list from 1775, in San Daniele del Friuli, in which it appears with a significantly higher price than other cheeses in the same category.
