Asiago DOP Riserva Mezzano

Asiago is a cow's milk cheese, produced only on the Asiago plateau in the Veneto foothills in Italy. The cheese-making tradition in the provinces of Vicenza and Trento dates back to more than a thousand years. Texture wise, Asiago goes through many changes, assuming different textures, according to its ageing. There are two types of Asiago - fresh Asiago (Asiago Pressato) has a smooth texture while the aged Asiago Riserva is matured for different time periods; Mezzano for 4-6 months, Vecchio for more than ten months and Stravecchio for two years.
