Ambrosi Asiago Pressato Cheese comes straight from the Italian Alps in the region of Veneto. Made with pasteurized cow’s milk, Asiago has a semi-soft texture, and a mild, delicately milky flavor. This product has a DOP (Protected Designation of Origin), which means it was made by trained artisans in the region of Asiago’s origin, using only local ingredients and traditional, age-old methods. This product is gluten-free.
Much like the invention of other types of cheeses, discovery of Asiago came about as humans constantly looked for ways to store their milk to ensure its constant availability. Similarly, Asiago originated in the alpine area of Asiago Plateau, along the regions of Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige, when the locals used the milk from cows (initially, it was sheep) who graze on the mountains to invent this Italian staple. This mountain cheese can vary by age. For example, Asiago Pressato is aged for just 20 days, giving it a more soft texture and a mild flavor. If you are looking for Asiago’s firmer, sharper version, try Asiago D’allevo, which is much “older” and has been aged for up to 2 years.
