Asiago cheese is a flavorful Italian cheese originating from the Asiago plateau in the Veneto region. Made primarily from cow’s milk, it comes in two varieties: Asiago Fresco, a fresh, softer cheese, and Asiago Stagionato, a firm and aged version with a sharper, nutty profile. Asiago is rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function, but it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key. This versatile cheese is often grated over pasta, melted into sandwiches, or enjoyed on its own as part of a cheese board. Its combination of bold flavor and nutrient density makes it a popular choice in Italian cuisine and beyond. For those mindful of their intake, reduced-sodium or lighter options may be available to enjoy Asiago's distinctive taste while balancing dietary concerns.
