Asiago Cheese

Asiago is a delightfully aged cheese that is made with whole milk. It is a firmer cheese with sharp, tangy notes that resemble parmesan. Grate over soups, salads, or pasta to enrich the taste. Europeans eat this cheese with cantaloupe for a sweet and salty balance.

Natural Asiago Cheese

Product Description: With earthy and tangy aromas, this whole milk asiago cheese has a pronounced and complex flavor with a deep savory taste and nutty undertones. The texture is firm yet slightly crumbly.

Pairings and Complementary Flavors:

Cocktails: Negroni, Martini, or Manhattan
~ A Negroni with gin and Campari can complement the rich and savory flavors of the Asiago.
~ A well-crafted martini with gin or vodka is a clean and crisp companion, allowing the cheese flavors to shine.
~ The classic Manhattan with whiskey or bourbon has a smooth and slightly sweet profile that elegantly balances the cheese’s nuttiness.

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chianti, or Prosecco
~ Sauvignon Blanc has a crisp acidity and citrus notes that highlight the delicate flavors of the cheese without overpowering them.
~ Pinot Grigio has a subtle fruitiness that complements Asiago’s slightly sweet and earthy character.
~ Chianti, with its medium body and fruity nature, can harmonize well with the nutty and savory flavors of the Asiago.
~ The effervescence and crispness of Prosecco enhance the deep flavors of Asiago.

Beer: IPA, Porter, Amber Ale, or Brown Ale
~ Consider an IPA with moderate bitterness, a range of fruity floral or citrus flavors, and high carbonation, as it is sure to contrast the richness of the Asiago.
~ Porter, Amber, or Brown ale delivers malt-forward profiles of chocolate, coffee, or caramel sweetness and moderate hop bitterness to enhance the cheese’s nuttiness and add life to the combination.

Accompaniments: bread, fruit, honey, fig preserves, balsamic reduction, nuts, cured meats
~ Crusty bread provides a wonderful texture and mild flavor, allowing the cheese to shine.
~ Fresh fruit such as red or black grapes provide a juicy contrast, while apples and pears can add a refreshing sweetness and slight tartness that balance the smooth and savory asiago flavors.
~ Honey or fig preserves with floral and fruit flavors provide a smooth and creamy combination of sweet and savory.
~ Balsamic reduction adds tanginess and depth of flavor, perfect when partnered with a crusty bread slice.
~ Nuts, such as toasted almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts, can add richness and crunch to mingle with the cheese’s texture and enhance its nuttiness.
~ Italian cured meats complement the rich cheese and make for a savory and delectable pairing.

Suggested uses:

  • For a charcuterie platter alongside cured meats, nuts, and fruits to make a delectable assortment
  • To elevate pasta, pizza, sandwiches, or salads
  • To enhance any muffin, scone, bread, or biscuit (Both sweet and savory baked goods can be enriched with this cheese)
