Picture of verzin cheese

Verzin is a marbled cheese obtained from full cream fresh cow's mountain milk. Its name recalls the renowned marble from the quarry at Frabosa. In fact its green-veined coloring is an exact match for a slice of Verzin.

In the 8th Century this tasty, creamy, green-veined cheese was a favorite for royal picnics, spread on bread toasted over camp stoves.

Verzin, with its buttery texture and distinctive taste, can be accompanied by the 'greats', Barolo and Barbaresco, but is not out of place with an aged Marsala or a good raisin wine.
