About Asiago Cheese
Asiago is an Italian DOP cheese from the Veneto and Trentino regions, named after the Asiago plateau. Fresh Asiago (Pressato) is mild and creamy, while aged Asiago (d'Allevo) becomes firm, crumbly, and develops a rich, nutty depth of flavour. It is one of Italy's most beloved cheeses.
Pairings
Pair with cured meats, olives, and crusty bread. Works beautifully melted over pasta or grated on soups. Try it with a light Pinot Grigio or sparkling Prosecco.
