Asiago Pressato (Vicenza/Trento)

This simple cheese is made on the low-lying areas of Vicenza and Trento. It has sweet, nutty, milky flavours and a springy open texture, and weighs around 12 kg (26½ lb). It is perfect for those who don’t want an over-complicated-tasting cheese. The Asiago cheeses become much drier and crumblier with age, developing salty, gritty flavours and textures.
