Stop by five Miami markets to taste typical Friulian foods, including Prosciutto San Daniele and Montasio cheese., during Friuli-Venezia Giulia Week Oct. 25-29. From 1pm-7pm, these markets will feature some of the most renowned examples of foods and wines:
Prosciutto di San Daniele PDO, a dry-cured ham that has been produced the same way for 1,000 years. The air from the mountains and the Adriatic Sea makes the San Daniele area the perfect place where to age prosciutto.
Montasio cheese PDO, named after the Montasio mountain range in the Friuli region, was originally produced in the 13th century by Benedictine monks at their monastery in the Julian Alps. Although it was originally produced with sheep’s milk, it is now made with fresh cow’s milk
Friulian DOC & IGT wines: Friuli Venezia Giulia wine country is home to about 1,500 active wineries. Friuli DOC denominations include DOC Collio, DOC Friuli Aquileia, DOC Friuli Colli Orientali e Ramandolo, DOC Friuli Grave, DOC Friuli Latisana, and DOC Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Tergeste Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Much of Friuli’s extra-virgin olive oil originates from olives grown on the southern slopes of the hills and includes excellent oils with protected designations of origin, such as Tergeste Extra Virgin Olive Oil PDO.
