Asiago

Where does Asiago d'allevo cheese come from?

Like many other types of cheese, Asiago cheese is named after the area in Italy where it was initially produced: the Asiago Plateau in Northeastern Italy. This Italian cheese is often compared to Parmesan and Pecorino, as they look and function similarly. This is a pure cow milk cheese.

What does Fresh Asiago pressato cheese taste like?

When it comes to this semi-soft, there are two different types of cheese: mild and fresh or sharp and aged cheese. When it is fresh, it is rather soft with a creamy texture and more subtle flavor. With aged cheese, the taste becomes sharper and the texture becomes slightly harder. In general, this cheese from the Veneto region is a nutty type of Italian cheese.

What can I eat with Asiago cheese?

Like Parmesan, this cheese from Veneto and Trentino alto Adige, produced with partially skimmed milk, can be eaten with pretty much anything in pretty much any form. Melt it on bread, grate it over pasta, or eat it by itself. Add it to salads soups. The options are endless.
