Prolagus rolig: formàio furlàn (see first comment) means "Friulian cheese" in Friulian, so you are probably right. Jan 20, 2009
Prolagus bilby: Ha! By the way, statues of V.E. II are pretty common in most "Piazza d'Italia" in Italy. Jan 20, 2009
hernesheir asino = ass, donkey in Spanish as well. Jan 20, 2009
hernesheir Friulan, or Friulian is, I believe, a ?Rhaeto-Romanch dialect/language from the NE edge of Italy that borders Austria and Slovenia. The cheese is likely a local product of that region. See this reference for a start. Jan 20, 2009
bilby If I remember correctly, asino does mean donkey/ass in Italian but the emphasis is on the first syllable. Hence the accent in asìno to distinguish it.
Little anecdote for Pro: I first came across this word one dull Sunday afternoon. My girlfriend and I decided to walk around Piazza Italia asking people sitting in the park if they could identify the man on horseback glorified with a statue in the middle of the square. Seeing as we were both foreigners it was easy enough to pretend to be tourists wanting a name for the statue in the background of our photo. We asked about 20 people, only 1 of whom was able to correctly identify the statue. But my favourite reply was a classic Italian shrug followed by 'Ero un asino alla scuola.' - 'I was a donkey at school.'
P.S. It was Vittorio Emanuele II. Jan 19, 2009
rolig There was a cheese I used to buy in Toronto that was called simply Friulano. But when I asked for it recently at a well-stocked cheese counter in Ljubljana (and Slovenia is right next-door to Friuli so I was hopeful), they didn't seem to know what it was. Perhaps I should have asked for asin? Jan 19, 2009
Prolagus No, asìno means "from Pieve d'Asio". Read here. Jan 19, 2009

rolig Does this mean "donkey" cheese (cf. asinine)? Jan 19, 2009
Prolagus Plus, dear WordNet, a cheese from Fiuli-Venezia Giulia (also known as formaggio asìno, formaggio salato del Friuli, formadi salmistrà, and formàio furlàn). There are two varieties: asìno classico and asìno morbido. Jan 19, 2009
