The Cimbri are a Germanic people who arrived from Bavaria around 1300 in Verona, Veneto. Mostly shepherds and farmers, woodcutters, and simple sheep breeders. Verona at that time was governed by the Scaliger family, great owners of Brogne sheep that produced fine wool. They asked Cangrande della Scala for help and were offered the opportunity to herd the flocks in the then uninhabited Lessini mountains, also governing the territory. Even today, the stone pastures built with the ancient Bavarian interlocking technique can be distinguished. With them also began the activity of cheese production that has remained in the tradition of preparing Monte Veronese DOP. A very appealing and unique cheese.
