Asiago Wedge

Asiago is a "mountain cheese" traditional to the Veneto in Northern Italy, where the Alps cross into the country and the cattle have the luxury of grazing the lush, high altitude pastures of the Asiago uplands above Vicenza all summer. When Italian cheesemakers moved to America, they continued the Asiago tradition, using rich American cow's milk to produce the same medium-hard texture and moderately aged, nutty piquancy for which this cheese is known. It makes a fine appetizer, and melts nicely for cooking.  Pre-Cut, Pre-Packaged.
