The Cimbri are a Germanic people who arrived from Bavaria around 1300 in Verona. Mostly shepherds and farmers, woodcutters, and simple sheep breeders. At that time, Verona was governed by the Scaligeri, great owners of Brogne Sheep that produced fine wool. They asked Cangrande della Scala for help and were offered the opportunity to manage the herds on the then uninhabited Lessini, also governing the territory. Even today, the stone huts built with the ancient Bavarian interlocking technique can be distinguished. With them, the cheese production activity was born, which has remained in the tradition with which Monte Veronese DOP is prepared. With the two-mountain technique, this cheese is also produced, aged for 6 months, left to mature in beer, and subsequently covered with what remains after the fermentation of cereals. A very captivating and unique cheese in its kind.
