Asiago, is a cow's milk cheese, produced only on the Asiago plateau in the Veneto foothills in Northern Italy. The cheese-making tradition in the provinces of Vicenza and Trento dates back to more than one thousand years. Traditionally, it was made from sheep's milk but today it is produced from unpasteurized cow's milk. Asiago is made in large wheels designed for long-term aging to get through tough winters. Dense and flavorful, Asiago can have a fresh, fruity flavor, or a savory, zesty taste on the palate.
