Montagnolo cheese is a really gorgeous naturally Lactose free cheese (but don't let that put you off!) from Germany made by Käserei Champignon. A very creamy blue cheese made from Cow's milk, having added cream with a lovely gentle but rich blue flavour. Mould ripened, it won the Supreme Champion award at the 2013 International Cheese Awards. The lactose is used up as the cheese matures, so actually you'll fine that lots of matured cheeses only have a tiny trace element of lactose and can be classed as Lactose free. I think the reason this cheese won it's much debated accolade is that it's a real crowd pleaser, it's the only blue our 12 year old daughter likes, although I also think it's very palatable and would very happily tuck in and I'm a blue fiend so there tells a tale. Suitable for a really wide range of tastes, this is a good option for a wedding stack or family gathering. Measuring 18cm by 7cm high for a whole cheese.
Note re lactose free:
Please note this cheese does still contain trace elements of lactose, and will not be ok for people sensitive to the protein in cows milk.
