The Cimbri are a Germanic people who arrived from Bavaria around 1300 in Verona, in Veneto. Mostly shepherds and farmers, wood splitters, and simple sheep breeders. Verona at that time was ruled by the Scaligeri, large owners of Brogne sheep that produced fine wool. They asked Cangrande della Scala for help and were offered the chance to manage the herds on the Lessini mountains, which were then uninhabited, also governing the territory. Even today, the stone mountain pastures built with the ancient Bavarian dovetail technique are distinguishable. With them, the cheese production activity was born, which has remained in the tradition with which the Monte Veronese DOP is prepared. A very appealing and unique cheese in its kind.
