Fresh Asiago PDO – Mountain Product

Fresh Asiago PDO - mountain product 🧀

The Malga Verde cheese selection is unmistakable: the cheeses made by the Cortese family are a beautiful expression of mountain pasture production which, in their case, takes place exclusively from June to mid-October on the Asiago Plateau.

"MOUNTAIN PRODUCT" what does it mean?

“Mountain Product” is the label reserved for cheeses made at an altitude of over 600 metres. This Fresh Asiago stands out for its fresh, milky, lightly floral aroma and its sweet, pleasant flavour.

👉 It is NOT a lowland Asiago.

The entire production chain follows strict production rules that carry on an ancient tradition, protecting the environment, the grazing cows and the consumer.

Milking, cheesemaking and ageing on spruce boards all take place in the mountains, within the PDO area, at an altitude of over 600 metres. Using only traceability-certified mountain milk guarantees the highest quality.

The unspoilt environment of the alpine pastures and a great dairy tradition make this cheese a precious gem of natural goodness.

👉 produced above 600 metres of altitude.

👉 different ageing, tastes and flavours from traditional "lowland" Asiago

N.B.: Every box is shipped in insulated polystyrene packaging with gel ice packs, or by refrigerated delivery where the area is covered! The cheese is vacuum packed.

Fresh Asiago PDO, also known as pressed Asiago, is made from whole milk and matured for at least 30 days.
