This reserve stock, slow-ripened Asiago is aged for a full year as opposed to regular Asiago d'Allevo's six month span. As a result of the additional maturation, this cheese takes on a distinct, but pleasant, sharpness with hints of butterscotch. Its texture is firm enough to grate, yet allows it to be served as a delicious table cheese as well. We recommend this cheese as part of a traditional northern Italian meal-- grated over risotto, polenta, or pasta.
