IL MONTASIO FORMAGGIO STORICO FRIULANO
In questo episodio propongo alcune brevi informazioni sul formaggio Montasio. Il Montasio è il prodotto più importante della tradizione casearia del Friuli Venezia Giulia. Similmente all'Asiago Veneto, prende il nome dall'omonimo altopiano che si apre tra le Alpi Giulie, nella zona di Tarvisio. Si ritiene che sia originario del 1200, ad opera dei monaci dell'abbazia di San Gallo, tutt'ora esistente. La denominazione Montasio appare per la prima volta nel 1775 in un prezziario della città di San Daniele (quella dell'omonimo prosciutto). Il Montasio è uno dei formaggi storici italiani, ha acquisito la certificazione DO nel 1986 e la DOP nel 1996. La zona di produzione del M...
