Montagnolo Cheese, Lactose free blue cheese

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 find that lots of matured cheeses only have a tiny trace element of lactose and can be classed as Lactose free - the issue is that regulation of this amount throughout the EU and UK varies and in some places is non-existent (UK).  In Germany the amount to be called lactose free is less than 0.1g lactose per 100g of cheese, (which people with lactose intolerance should be able to stomach).  Suitable for a really wide range of tastes, this is a good option for a wedding stack or family gathering.
