The Cimbri are a Germanic people who arrived from Bavaria around 1300 in Verona, in Veneto. Mostly shepherds and farmers, woodsplitters and simple sheep breeders. Verona at that time was governed by the Scaligeri, large owners of Brogne Sheep that produced fine wool. They asked Cangrande della Scala for help and were offered the chance to govern the herds on the Lessini mountains, which at that time were uninhabited, also governing the territory. Even today, the stone pastures built with ancient Bavarian interlocking technique can be distinguished. With them, the activity of cheese production was born, which has remained in the tradition with which the Monte Veronese DOP is prepared. A very appealing and unique cheese in its kind.
