What it is

Shredded Asiago cheese is a hard or semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk, originating from Italy. It comes in two main types: fresh (Asiago Pressato) and aged (Asiago d'Allevo), with the aged version having a stronger flavor. The cheese is then grated or shredded for convenience.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use shredded Asiago cheese to add a distinctive savory, nutty, and slightly sharp flavor, as well as a desirable texture, to various food products. It is commonly found in pizzas, pasta dishes, salads, sandwiches, and as a topping for baked goods.

Health notes

Asiago cheese is a food product regulated by the FDA as a dairy item, not a food additive. It is generally recognized as safe for consumption as part of a balanced diet. Like all dairy products, it contains lactose, which can be an issue for individuals with lactose intolerance. There are no specific health controversies associated with Asiago cheese itself beyond general dietary considerations for dairy.

Allergen info

This ingredient is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 major FDA allergens.
