What it is

Asiago cheese is a firm, white, Italian cow's milk cheese. It is made from cow's milk and aged for at least 60 days for a mild, nutty flavor. Medium Asiago is aged for a shorter period than aged Asiago, resulting in a less sharp taste.

Why it's used

Medium Asiago cheese is often used as a table cheese or for grating. Manufacturers add it to foods for its distinct flavor and texture. It is commonly found in salads, pasta dishes, and baked goods.

Health notes

Asiago cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and calcium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated cheese and related products. There are no widespread controversies regarding the consumption of cheese at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

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