Especially in the field of food and wine it is necessary to know how to recognize the quality of the raw materials and the heritage of artisan tradition behind the individual products ". Monte Veronese DOP is a cheese produced on the Lessini Mountains exclusively with cow's milk in two types, whole milk and farmed milk , which differ in the milk used and the processing, expressing themselves in different flavors. To these two is added the version of the alpine farm, with milk collected from cows in the mountain pastures in the period from May to October, recognized as a Slow Food Presidium . During the event, maximum safety will be guaranteed, both for exhibitors and for the public, thanks to an organization studied in detail, already successfully tested in 2020.
