Asiago: Fresco, Mature and Asiago Product of the Mountain

Asiago is an Italian cheese with Protected Designation of Origin produced in two different types: fresh and cured. Two flavours that can not be distinguished simply by the aging period, but by two different processes. Asiago fresh, delicate and sweet as fresh milk, is made ​​with whole milk. Asiago cheese, which has a stronger taste and is variously savoury depending on aging (from 3 to 12 months), is obtained with skim milk. Asiago "Product of the Mountain" is the traditional cheese of the Asiago Plateau, which is strongly characterized by its fresh, milky and slightly floral smell, with a sweet and pleasant taste. The ripening process takes place in the mountains in the territory of the PDO between Veneto and Trentino regions at altitudes between 600 and 2,300 meters. The use of only ITALIAN MOUNTAIN MILK with the traceability certification is a guarantee of high quality.
