The Asiago Cheese Protection Consortium strengthens its connection with the territory

The Asiago Cheese Protection Consortium announces the admission of two new members to 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 the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni, at 1100 and 1200 metres respectively, 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 huts and dairies, promotes Asiago cheese as a gastronomic excellence and a symbol of environmentally responsible agriculture. This model attracts younger generations, who are also present among historic producers such as Malga Pusterle and Malga Dosso di Sotto, as well as discerning gastronomic tourists interested in discovering the beauty and treasures of the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni.

This commitment led, twelve years ago, to the creation of Made in Malga, the national event dedicated to cheeses and  mountain products, held on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni. This year, from 6 to 8 and from 13 to 15 September, events, tastings and meetings will offer many opportunities to discover the Veneto and Trentino dairies and mountain huts producing mountain-produced Asiago. For the first time, the 2024 edition proposes 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, “Alpine Flavours: mountain-produced Asiago and extreme spirits”, and on Saturday 14 September at 16.30, mountain-produced Asiago will be explored with the intensity of the finest volcanic wines in “The Hero’s Agriculture: Mountain Asiago and Fire Wines”.
