The Cimbri were a Germanic people who arrived from Bavaria around 1300 in Verona, Veneto. Mostly shepherds and farmers, wood splitters and simple sheep breeders. Verona at that time was ruled by the Scaliger family, great 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 were then uninhabited, also governing the territory. Even today, the stone huts built with the ancient Bavarian joint technique can be distinguished. With them, the activity of cheese production was also born, which has remained in the tradition of preparing the Monte Veronese DOP. A very appealing and unique cheese in its kind.
