Asiago DOP Stagionato

Asiago DOP is divided into three types based on its maturation period: mezzano, aged for six months; vecchio, aged for one year; and stravecchio, aged for up to two years. Like other excellent Northern Italian cheeses, this cheese has its roots in the mountainous areas, specifically the Asiago plateau, before expanding its production to the lowlands of neighboring provinces. Furthermore, following a common path for many cheeses, a shorter-aged variant, known as Asiago DOP pressato, has been developed, designed for more immediate consumption.
