Located in: Cheese, Italy

Produced in the Po Valley near Treviso, Asiago Pressato is a milder, sweeter Asiago with a springy, pale interior. It is classified as an Italian DOC (Denominiazione di Origine Controllata) cheese, meaning that it is protected by governmental standards regarding the cheese's origin and techniques. Made from pasteurized whole milk and aged for 20 to 40 days, this young cheese has a full, creamy flavor. We suggest enjoying Pressato with crusty Italian bread and a glass of Pinot Grigio!

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

I served this cheese to guests using the recommendations from the igourmet site. We had this truly splendid cheese with hard crusty italian bread and our favorite Pinot Grigio. It was absolutely wonderfu, and our guests could not believe the unique flavor and texture of this truly splendid cheese. I highly recommend it as an appetizer with your favorite Pinot.

This cheese melts fabulously. While I didn't make a mac 'n cheese or grilled cheese sandwich with it, it would be a decadent addition to either. We enjoyed this flash-fried after dipping in oil and fresh herbs, then spread over crusty bread.

Comments about Asiago Pressato:

Not usually a big fan of Asiago cheeses, as they are often quite dry. This one is wonderful; very creamy, and when melted, not greasy. Good also just sliced, especially with a tart, sliced apple and glass of Chardonnay.

good quality but I've had better. Their are many
good quality "caseifici" (cheese factories) in all of northern Italy and most produce good quality cheeses. Each have thier own distinct but very subtle taste. You've selected a good, but not great one.
