Asiago cheese is an Italian D.O.P. product (Denominazione di Origine Protetta), equivalent to a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).


This simply means that the product can be considered as real by European law if and only if it is produced in its specific origin area (the alpine area of the town of Asiago, province of Vicenza, in the Veneto region) and according to a specific regime, known as the Disciplinare di produzione.


Fresh Asiago is tender and it is ideal in the preparation of sandwiches and panini or as a table cheese.
