Monte Veronese is an Italian cheese made from cow's milk which is produced in the northern part of the province of Verona, more specifically in the Lessini Mountains or the Veronese prealps. Like Asiago it comes in two varieties, one fresh and one matured.
Monte Veronese was awarded Italian denominazione di origine status in 1993[1] and European protected designation of origin (Italian: DOP) status in 1996.[2]
