Ubriaco

Ubriaco is a unique Italian cheese hailing from Treviso in the region of Veneto. The cheese is traditionally made from cow's milk. It is left to age, and during the last few months of aging, Ubriaco is soaked in dry and sparkling Prosecco wine with seeds, skins, and other leftovers from the process of making wine.

When fully mature, Ubriaco has a soft texture which becomes firmer and crumblier with further aging. Its aroma is floral, while the flavors are rich, full, and fruity. It is believed that the cheese was developed during WWI, when local farmers used to hide their cheeses from soldiers by placing the cheese in wine barrels.
