Mezzano di Malga Cheese – Mountain Product

Mezzano di Malga Cheese – Mountain Product 🧀

The Malga Verde cheese selection is unmistakable: the cheeses made by the Cortese family are a beautiful expression of mountain pasture production which, in their case, takes place exclusively from June to mid-October on the Asiago Plateau.

"MOUNTAIN PRODUCT" what does it mean?

“Mountain Product” is the label reserved for cheeses made at an altitude of over 600 metres: milking, cheesemaking and ageing all take place in the mountains.

👉 It is NOT a lowland cheese.

The entire production chain follows strict production rules that carry on an ancient tradition, protecting the environment, the grazing cows and the consumer.

Milking, cheesemaking and ageing on spruce boards all take place in the mountains at an altitude of over 600 metres. Using only traceability-certified mountain milk guarantees the highest quality.

The unspoilt environment of the alpine pastures and a great dairy tradition make this cheese a precious gem of natural goodness.

👉 produced above 600 metres of altitude.

👉 different ageing, tastes and flavours from lowland cheeses

N.B.: Every box is shipped in insulated polystyrene packaging with gel ice packs, or by refrigerated delivery where the area is covered! The cheese is vacuum packed.
