A symbol of a unique territory and centuries-old dairy tradition, it is the focus of various projects centered on education and training
Montasio PDO cheese tells the story of a unique territory, nestled between the mountains and plains of Friuli Venezia Giulia and eastern Veneto, where time has taught man to transform milk into culture, tradition, and identity. In addition to its gastronomic and nutritional value — rich in protein, calcium, and essential nutrients — recent studies conducted by the University of Udine have demonstrated the potential of Montasio PDO cheese as a functional food for health, capable of contributing to the intestinal well-being of the body and with a potential role in controlling oxidative stress and blood pressure.
Science and tradition together confirm and reinforce the value of this cheese and amplify its ability to appeal to contemporary consumers and young people who are increasingly attentive and aware. It is precisely the younger generations that the Protection Consortium focuses on, with the aim of bringing culture and interest to the sector by offering continuous training opportunities to farmers and cheesemakers. In collaboration with CEFAP (Center for Permanent Agricultural Education and Training), it organizes a professional qualification course to train qualified operators in the dairy sector.
Passion, culture, and dairy tradition are the ingredients that the Montasio DOP Cheese Protection Consortium brings to schools of various levels through an ambitious educational project, with the aim of transmitting to young people not only knowledge of a product of excellence, but also its history and the value of a protected and guaranteed supply chain. In 2025 alone, more than 500 students attending various primary and secondary schools in the provinces of Udine, Gorizia, Pordenone, Venice, and Emilia-Romagna were involved. This initiative has left its mark and will continue in 2026, thanks to the commitment of the Consortium's specialized technicians in promoting a culture of conscious eating and the enthusiasm of young students who are increasingly involved and interested.
