About Montasio cheese

Montasio is a firm cheese made from cow’s milk and associated with Friuli-Venezia Giulia and nearby parts of northeastern Italy. Its flavour and texture change as it matures: younger cheese is generally milder and more yielding, while aged versions become firmer and more pronounced.

It is eaten on its own or used grated, sliced, or melted in cooking. It is sold at different stages of maturation, so a recipe or nutrition comparison should distinguish fresh, semi-aged, and aged cheese rather than treating them as identical.
