When we talk about Montasio cheese, the mind instantly associates it with an Italian excellence, a symbol of quality and the rich dairy tradition of Friuli and Veneto. The Consorzio Montasio, the guardian of this great tradition, has gone a step further, transferring the uniqueness and identity of its brand into everyday objects. This is how the elegant, handmade ceramic bowls were born, designed to visually and conceptually represent the deep connection with the land and the product.
Design and Customization: A Nod to the Shape of the Cheese
These bowls stand out for their round, regular shape, clearly reminiscent of the iconic wheels of Montasio cheese. Every design detail has been carefully crafted to maintain a strong connection with the brand’s image and the product, while offering a clean and modern aesthetic.
The “Montasio” brand is carefully and meticulously applied through a decal technique, screen-printed and placed by hand. This customization process ensures that every bowl is unique. The Montasio name is featured both inside the bowl, with a minimalist yet elegant design, and on the outside, where it appears on a bright yellow textured background—the distinctive color of the consortium’s packaging and brand identity.
Craftsmanship: The Artistry of Decal Application
The making of these bowls is a perfect example of how traditional craftsmanship can blend with modern techniques. The decal, used to apply the logo and decorations, is printed and screen-printed with great attention to detail. Each decal is then applied by hand on every bowl, ensuring absolute precision in the positioning of the logo and the decorative elements.
This process requires a high level of craftsmanship, underscoring the importance of “handmade,” a value that reflects the same care and attention that the Consorzio Montasio dedicates to the production of its PDO cheese.
The Importance of Design for the Montasio Brand
These bowls are not just decorative objects, but a true extension of the Montasio brand. They can be used in various contexts, from tastings organized by the consortium to promotional events and business partnerships, always keeping the brand’s identity alive. The bowls, with their beauty and functionality, thus become a tangible symbol of the quality and tradition that the Consorzio Montasio represents.
Conclusion
The custom-made ceramic bowls for the Consorzio Montasio are a perfect example of how design can strengthen the identity of a historic brand. Their shape, inspired by dairy tradition, combined with the artisanal technique of screen-printed decals applied by hand, makes these bowls a symbol of excellence—just like Montasio cheese itself. An object that not only celebrates the product but also the love for the land and quality.
Combining aesthetics and functionality, these bowls are the perfect complement for anyone wanting to fully immerse themselves in the Montasio experience, even beyond the dining table.
