Asiago parmesan cheese

Asiago Parmesan Cheese is a hard Italian cheese, known for its intense flavor and granular texture. Originating from the Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige regions in Italy, this cheese is made from cow's milk and is aged for several months, which gives it a complex aromatic profile and a slightly sweet flavor with nutty notes.

Asiago Parmesan cheese is widely used in cooking for grating over pasta, salads, soups, and risottos due to its ability to enhance flavors and add a salty and umami touch. Compared to other hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano, Asiago Parmesan is usually a bit milder but equally versatile.

From a nutritional standpoint, this cheese is a good source of protein, calcium, and healthy fats, in addition to containing vitamins A and B12. However, due to its concentration and aging process, it is also high in sodium and fats, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation.

In Latin America, this cheese can be found under various synonyms or related names, although it is not always produced locally: Asiago cheese, Parmesan cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, or simply hard grated cheese. It is important not to confuse it with fresh or semi-hard cheeses that have similar names.
