| Curiosity | The 'formaggio Ubriaco' cheese, literally translated to "drunk cheese" in English, originates from the farming tradition of the Veneto region. Its name is derived from the practice of local dairymen using grape dregs to moisten the rind, imparting the taste and aroma of wine to the cheese. However, a legend dating back to the First World War recounts that, during that time, local farmers attempted to protect their cheeses from the enemy by hiding them in wine must. Upon tasting the cheese later, they discovered its exceptional flavor and how well it had been preserved |
| Suggestions | As the refinement is very balanced and the aroma of wine is not strong at all, it is perfect as a table cheese |

Latteria Moro Sergio - Oderzo (TV) - Veneto
Why we chose them
The history of Latteria Moro begun in 1930 in Oderzo, when Luigi Moro, grandfather of Sergio, started collecting milk from the local stables area, to
sell it to the families.
In the first postwar period, the company specialised in cheese making and opened a dairy and a laboratory in Oderzo.
At the beginning of the 1980s, the current owner, Sergio Moro, decided to retrieve from the rural world the traditional maturing and refining
techniques of cheeses used by peasants and shepherds to preserve, age and season them.
Thanks to his research, Latteria Moro now refines the cheeses of the region in full respect of their typicity, adding flavoring ingredients externally,
such as tea or herbs, or internally, such as chocolate liquor or truffle, creating unique and sophisticated combinations of flavors.ibility to taste
cheeses with flavours, smells and colors that went lost over the years.
