Asiago
Made by
Vella Cheese
Cow's Milk
This cheese originated in the commune of Asiago in the province of Vicenza, region of II Veneto in Italy. It was originally made from sheeps' milk, but it is now universally made from cows' milk. The result is a sweet curd, grana-type cheese with a pleasant aroma. In concert with our other grating cheese, Dry Monterey Jack, Asiago may be used as a table cheese when young. Our founder, Thomas G. Vella, proudly claimed that this is the first Asiago made in California in 70 years.
Since 1931, Vella Cheese has been a companion to the finest foods in the world. As an ingredient, sprinkled on top, or served alongside the full fresh flavor and smooth creamy texture of Vella Cheese is guaranteed to satisfy.The success of Vella Cheese lies in the personal attention each day's production is given. Quality starts in the pasture. Every cow is not the same. Every day is not sunny; every blade of grass is not green and lush. But, if you insist on the finest breeding of herds, the finest feeds, the greatest care in milking and transporting the top grade milk, so that you have the best possible natural raw material, you have set the stage for super cheese.
