Asiago is a semi-hard cheese from Italy with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, meaning it can only be produced in the Asiago region under strict regulatory standards. This cheese boasts a rich, buttery, and nutty flavor, with subtle hints of sweetness. Its texture is soft and springy, offering a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.

 

The Pressato variety, specifically, is aged for 20 to 40 days, enhancing its excellent melting properties, making it ideal for use in sandwiches and pizzas. It pairs wonderfully with a Bianco pizza base, especially when topped with sautéed silverbeet, caramelized onions, and pancetta for a truly indulgent flavor experience.
