Asiago d'Allevo Oro del Tempo

Northwest of Venice, tucked beneath the Dolomite Mountains, artisan cheesemakers produce Asiago using traditional methods: no computer-operated machinery or temperature-controlled rooms, just cows and grass, men and women, and an abundance of Asiago. A light beige cheese peppered with small holes, Asiago d'Allevo has a slightly fruity appeal and an engaging aroma. Aged for up to five months, it is firm enough to shave or shred. It's often used for cooking and in salads, but also makes a tasty cracker...

This reserve stock, slow-ripened Asiago is aged for a full year as opposed to regular Asiago d'Allevo's six month span. As a result of the additional maturation, this cheese takes on a distinct but pleasant sharpness with hints of butterscotch. Its texture is firm enough to grate, yet allows it to be served as a delicious table cheese as well. We recommend this cheese as part of a traditional northern Italian meal, grated over risotto, polenta, or pasta.Made from unpasteurized cow's milk. Photo depicts...

Nutty and unapologetically fruity, this semi-firm cow's milk cheese can get quite aggressive as it ages. At the maturity we sell it, it's bright and friendly, not bellicose. Although it can be grated, don't pass it by when planning a cheese plate; with a little honey for dipping and some almonds on the side, it's delightful. Made of raw cow's milk in Italy.
