The “Ubriaco cheese” has its origins in the country traditions of the province of Treviso. The name “Ubriaco” in Italian means “drunk” and was associated to this cheese because the local dairymen used the marc to wash and to impermeabilize the rind, conferring a unique flavour to the cheese.

This cheese was about to disappear, until, a few years ago, one of the most important food-selector in Italy suggested to some artisans from Veneto to remake it. At present the “Formaggio Ubriaco” is very much appreciated from the Italian and the foreign consumers.

The “Ubriaco cheese” is an excellent table cheese but it can be appreciated along with potatoes and with “polenta”.

It must be conserved in the lower part of the fridge, wrapped up into some grease-proof paper.
