CAS.SOC.COOP. DI FONTANAFREDDA S.C.A.

In Fontanafredda, in the province of Pordenone, the CAS.SOC.COOP. cooperative operates within the Friuli-Venezia Giulia dairy landscape to produce Montasio DOP. It is a cylindrical cow's milk cheese with a compact texture and a slight piquant note, requiring at least sixty days of aging before reaching the table: a minimum time that is already a promise of character. The cooperative's strength lies in the network that sustains it. Milk comes from over three hundred municipalities within the protected area, and this extensive collection reflects the collective nature of the project: many stables, one single discipline. Thus, the regional dairy heritage is concentrated into recognizable wheels, where the cooperative's hand is as important as the recipe. The cooperative welcomes visitors and enthusiasts: stopping here means seeing the production methods up close and tasting Montasio at its various stages of maturation, understanding how a territorial cheese is born from the sum of many small contributions even before the cheesemaker's hands.
