What it is

Aged Asiago cheese is a firm, granular cheese originating from the Veneto region of Italy. It is made from cow's milk and aged for at least 6 months, which gives it a sharp, nutty flavor and a crumbly texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Aged Asiago cheese primarily for its strong flavor and texture. It is often grated over pasta dishes, used in sauces, or incorporated into baked goods like bread and pizza crusts.

Health notes

Aged Asiago cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, and JECFA has evaluated specific cheese-related ingredients. Like other aged cheeses, it can be high in sodium and saturated fat.

Allergen info

Aged Asiago cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
