Asiago and Parmesan are hard, Italian-style cheeses made from cow's milk. They are aged for varying lengths of time, which develops their sharp, nutty, and savory flavors. Parmesan is typically aged longer than Asiago.
Why it's used
These cheeses are added to foods for their distinct flavor and aroma. They are commonly used in pasta dishes, pizzas, sauces, and as a topping for salads and soups. Their firm texture also makes them suitable for grating.

As with many foods, excessive consumption of cheese, particularly those high in sodium and saturated fat, may be linked to health concerns, but typical intake is not associated with adverse effects.
