Precise and well-determined typicality factors should play a major role in the production of quality cheese like Montasio.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first fundamental factor is the place of origin: Friuli, eastern Veneto in the provinces of Belluno and Treviso and-in part-in those of Padua and Venice.<\/p>\n

The second is milk. This depends in large part on the environment, weather and vegetation of the area.<\/p>\n

Correct production implies accurate controls on raw materials\u2019 quality and their subsequent processing.<\/p>\n

The third is the use of a flexible technology that can please the cheese slow formation process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The forth is the production labeling of the cheese, which guarantees its origin and the compliance with all the product\u2019s specifications.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Montasio is produced today as they used to in the past, in our mountains. Tasty, like it was yesterday. Provided that-obviously-it is the authentic one, with the mark of origin of the Consortium for the Protection of Montasio cheese.<\/p>\n

Activities of the Consortium<\/h2>\n

THE CONSORTIUM IS ACTIVE AT AN INSTITUTIONAL LEVEL (MONITORING OF PRODUCTION AND MARKETING) AND IN THE FIELD OF PROMOTION OF PRODUCTION.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

As for the supervision on production, Inspectors of the Consortium have the task of verifying both the quantity produced and qualitative aspects of the production.<\/p>\n

Members are required to complete a special register every day. Here are reported different types of data important to assess the quantity of the product and its marketing. In particular, inspectors verify the area of origin of the milk processed into Montasio.<\/p>\n

From an institutional point of view, beyond providing continuous assistance, the Consortium monitors processed products, select samples for the assessment of quality parameters and, in general, supervises and coordinates research activities in collaboration with major Authorities and academic institutions in the northeast of Italy.<\/p>\n

Moreover, inspectors carry out an important supervisory and control activity on marketing of Montasio aimed to the customer\u2019s protection. In particular, they continuously verify health and safety standards as for the selling of Montasio cheese, the fair use of the mark and correct use of the protected designation of origin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
