What it is
Asiago cheese concentrate is a product made from real Asiago cheese. It is produced by removing water and other components from the cheese, leaving a concentrated form of its flavor and other characteristics. This process intensifies the taste of Asiago cheese.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use asiago cheese concentrate to add a strong, authentic asiago cheese flavor to foods without adding the bulk of actual cheese. It is often found in sauces, soups, dips, and prepared meals where a cheesy taste is desired.
Health notes
Asiago cheese concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. It is a source of dairy nutrients like calcium and protein. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated cheese and cheese products, and EFSA has also evaluated cheese products. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Asiago cheese concentrate is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
