Made with raw Bruna and Frisona cow’s milk, only in mountain dairies during the Summer months, in Italy’s Veneto region.

Asiago is one of Italy’s most common PDO cheeses, however, this is an extremely rare one, made in mountain dairies on the Asiago plateau, under the watchful eye of the Slow Food Presidium. When it comes to Asiago, the Presidium is dedicated exclusively to the Stravecchio [aged for 19 months and over], encouraging farmers to mature more wheels for a longer period of time, and to better realise and appreciate the importance of small dairies for the protection of the mountains and ancient traditions.

A multiple award winner for the best Asiago Stravecchio, this cheese is rich in flavour, sweet, gradually growing to more pungent, with hints of toasted hazelnut, exotic fruit and fresh grass.

Italy, Veneto.

Caring for your Cheese

Keep cut cheeses wrapped in wax paper. Do not use cling film as this makes the cheese sweat.
Store cheese in the warmest part of your fridge. The salad drawer is quite ideal.
Artisanal cheese and mould are natural companions. Simply trim the surface mould before serving.
Always bring cheese to room temperature before serving. In standard temperatures, an hour out of the fridge prior to serving, is ideal.
