6-Month Aged Asiago Cheese

Asiago is a delightful medium-aged cheese exhibiting all of the flavor benefits of a much older cheese while still remaining supple and moist. This 6-month-aged wedge from Il Villaggio is PDO certified, crafted by cooperative dairies in the foothills of the Dolomites.

The Flavor Experience

Aged Asiago contains some really freaky tropical fruit notes (primarily pineapple with hints of guava) and an umami reminiscent of Vietnamese grilled pork. What you end up with is a cheese that eats like a meal. Rich and satisfying as it hits on all of the scientific labels for taste.

The Story

Pre 1000 A.D., Asiago was made from cow and sheep milk. In the early 1500s, production was transitioned to all cow's milk, as sheep had a very aggressive browsing style, which made the wet area prone to landslides.

Usage Tips

A classic for antipasto, pair with pepperoni, olives and roasted peppers - or grate over risotto, polenta, or your favorite pasta dish to add a savory yet tangy touch.
