Friulano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the cheese. Friulano is also a name for the Friulian language.
For the Italian wine grape known as Friulano, see Sauvignon vert.
Friulano is the name of a cow's milk cheese made in Canada that has a firm yellow flesh and a nutty taste. It is named after the Friuli region of Italy and is sometimes called Italian Cheddar.
Friulano closely resembles Italian Montasio cheese which it strives to imitate, but has a different name since, in Canada, the name Montasio can only be used for cheeses made in the Montasio mountains of the Friuli region of Italy.
