The Asiago Cheese Protection Consortium strengthens its bond with the area

The Asiago Cheese Protection Consortium announces the entry of two new members into the Asiago cheese production chain and confirms its commitment to enhancing its unique and distinctive identity.

Malga Biancoia and Malga Mazze Inferiori, both located on theAltopiano dei Sette Comuni, respectively at 1100 and at 1200 metres, are joining the Asiago Cheese Protection Consortium which, since 2006, has promoted the production of mountain-produced Asiago, an outstanding speciality recognised and protected by the European Union.

The Consortium, also with the contribution of participating mountain dairies and alpine huts, promotes Asiago cheese as a gastronomic excellence and a symbol of environmentally respectful agriculture. A model that attracts younger generations, who are also present among long-established producers such as Malga Pusterle and Malga Dosso di Sotto, as well as a conscious gastronomic tourism interested in discovering the beauty and treasures of the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni.

This commitment gave rise, twelve years ago, to Made in Malga, the national event dedicated to cheeses and  mountain produce held on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni. This year, from 6 to8 and from 13 to 15 September, events, tastings and meetings will offer many opportunities to discover the dairies and alpine huts in Veneto and Trentino that produce mountain-produced Asiago. The 2024edition, for the first time, presents Asiago experience, a series of 12 meetings dedicated to discovering the world of Asiago cheese, with a focus on mountain production. These are joined by two masterclasses for enthusiasts: on Saturday 7 September at 16.30, with “Alpine Flavours: Mountain-produced Asiago and Extreme Spirits”, and on Saturday 14 September at 16.30 the mountain-produced Asiago is explored through the intensity of the finest volcanic wines in “The Hero’s Agriculture: Mountain Asiago and Fire Wines”.
