About Asiago cheese
Asiago is an Italian cow’s-milk cheese traditionally associated with the Asiago area. Its texture and flavour depend on age: fresher Asiago is supple and mild, while aged forms are firmer, drier, and more savoury. The interior is generally pale yellow, with a rind that may be present on whole or cut pieces.
It is eaten as a table cheese and used sliced, grated, or melted in cooking. Fresh and aged versions are distinct forms rather than interchangeable descriptions of one texture. The label may refer to different maturation stages, so the age and whether rind is included matter when describing a particular piece.
