The BEST Italian Dish You've NEVER Heard Of!

Cheese and potatoes time ragazzi! Friuli Venezia Giulia (where Alessio is from) is famous for this delicious Italian recipe, but the shocking thing is, most people have never heard of it. Frico was first developed as a hearty meal to help use up leftover Montasio cheese. We didn’t have access to Montasio here in the US, so we substituted in piave and Gruyère cheeses.

Fun fact: Chef Luca Manfe made frico during his competition on Masterchef, impressing Gordon Ramsay and going on to win!

From Google: Montasio, an aged cheese, boasts an aromatic bouquet and fruity, grassy notes. It was first made by monks from the milk of cows that graze in the foothills of the Alps. Hundreds of years later, the “recipe” is almost the same. In fact, in 1986, Montasio was awarded protected designation of origin (DOP: refresh your certification expertise here), cementing the production methods. After being brined and salted, Montasio is aged for a minimum of 60 days (and up to more than 18 months), allowing the flavors to intensify over time.
