Description & Tasting Notes Winner of the best aged cheese in the Italian Cheese Awards 2024, Montelupo is made with milk from cows grazing on the lush mountain pastures of the Lessini mountains north of Verona. The wide variety of alpine flowers and herbs in the pastures give the cheese a unique and full flavour, which further intensifies during a 24-month maturation – developing a robust bite while retaining subtle milk and cream flavours on the long, lingering finish. Under the tough leathery natural rind, the interior is almost rock hard and a beautiful golden yellow colour. Meticulously crafted by La Casara Roncolato, a family-run cheesemaking business with roots dating back to the 1920s.Other Notes & Serving Suggestions When serving Montelupo, select accompaniments and wines that will match its bold character: acacia honey, toasted nuts and mustard fruits are all recommended partners; wine matches include Barolo, Amarone della Valpolicella or a high quality dry Prosecco Superiore DOCG Valdobbiadene.Region: Veneto, Italy Milk: Unpasteurised Cow Rennet: Animal Size: 8kg wheel, sold as cuts
