Fresh-cut Stella Asiago cheese with a rich, nutty flavor and a smooth, sliceable texture.
Stella Asiago cheese is a classic Italian-style cow’s milk cheese with a mellow, nutty flavor and a clean, smooth bite. This 1 pound wedge is cut fresh from Stella Asiago wheels, then packed to help protect its flavor and texture on the way to your door.
Asiago is one of those cheeses that works almost anywhere. Slice it for a cheese board, cube it for snacking, shave it over salad, or grate it over pasta, risotto, soups, and roasted vegetables. It has enough flavor to stand out, but it is still approachable enough for everyday use.
For the best flavor, take the Asiago out of the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before serving. This gives the cheese time to soften slightly and brings out more of its nutty flavor.
Serve it with crusty bread, crackers, olives, roasted peppers, pears, figs, honey, or Italian cured meats. It is also excellent shaved over arugula with olive oil, lemon, and cracked black pepper.
Keep Stella Asiago cheese refrigerated. After opening, wrap the remaining cheese in cheese paper or parchment, then place it in a loose container or storage bag. For best texture and flavor, enjoy within 2 to 3 weeks after opening.
