Cimbro Fosse Venturi cheese 300g

This is a cow's milk cheese that is aged in the famous Fosse Venturi of Sogliano al Rubicone for 4 months.

Made from cow's milk, the whole wheel weighs about 2 kg and is hard cheese. Particularly aromatic, it takes on the characteristic scent of the caves and enhances its intensity and persistence on the palate. Savory and slightly spicy. 

 

This cheese is born from a friendship between Giovanni Roncolato and the Fosse Venturi company. The sharing of a high-quality project and the recovery of ancient cheesemaking traditions from the Lessinia mountains in Verona, alongside the extraordinary history of Fosse Venturi from Sogliano al Rubicone and their aging technique in pits. Amidst the hills of Roncà, under the ancient volcano of Calvarina, lies the story of the Roncolato family and their dairy. In the 1920s in Brenton, Ermenegildo, along with his sons Angelo and Romano, began the cheesemaking activity. Green pastures climb up to the highest peaks of the Lessini Mountains, the Little Dolomites of Verona. Since 1964, the dairy has been taken over by Romano, who named it La Casara. This long tradition continues today with his children Giovanni, Gildo, and Letizia and has become one of the most qualitatively significant and refined realities in the Venetian and Italian production landscape. Giovanni has been the true promoter of the resurgence of the DOP Monte Veronese and has particularly strived to bring young people back to the Veronese mountains to reclaim the tradition of mountain dairy farming. Today, La Casara has received multiple awards in international competitions and proposes a wide range of its own production cheeses from cows, goats, and sheep. Over time, Giovanni has become a refined selector of cheeses from all over the world, and here we present some of them. La Casara also has its own production of cured meats thanks to the free-range farms in the lands of Brenton, from which the famous and rare soppressa comes. Authentic flavors, typicality, and genuineness are the fundamental characteristics of this beautiful Italian reality.
