On 5 and 6 October 2024, the magnificent setting of Villa Contarini in Piazzola sul Brenta (Padua) will host the twentieth edition of Caseus, the event celebrating the excellence of our region’s dairy production.
This year, alongside the traditional regional competition for the best cheese in Veneto, the event will also feature the Festival of Veneto PDOs, an opportunity to discover and promote the dairy products made in these lands. Among the key protagonists of this important showcase is Montasio DOP, one of the flagship products of the dairy tradition of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Eastern Veneto.
Through guided tastings, cooking shows, the pizza area, and educational seminars, Caseus 2024 offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience firsthand the quality of Montasio DOP, as well as its history and artisanal production process, which still faithfully preserves the traditions of the past. At the same time, the event aims to encourage greater consumer awareness when choosing PDO products and certified supply chains.
Visitors will also have the chance to taste the giant Montasio Frico prepared by the Associazione Gruppo Amici della Nostra Famiglia of Sterpo.
For the Consorzio di Tutela del Formaggio Montasio DOP, taking part in Caseus represents an opportunity to highlight the importance of quality and the deep connection with the local area — an essential value that has defined our production for centuries.
