Asiago DOP cheese aged ten years valued at 400 euros per kilo

A wheel of Asiago DOP Prodotto della Montagna cheese, aged for ten years, has been valued by international experts at between 350 and 400 euros per kilogram. The wheel was opened during the Made in Malga event held on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni.

Produced on September 21, 2016, using only alpine pasture milk, the cheese underwent a decade-long maturation process. It was stored on spruce boards and turned by hand daily under expert supervision to reach its optimal sensory profile, which includes notes of toasted nuts, spices, and mountain herbs.

This specific variety is produced in limited quantities in the provinces of Vicenza and Trento at altitudes above 600 meters. Since 2017, Asiago DOP Prodotto della Montagna has been recognized among the ten most precious cheeses in the world and has received accolades at the Luxury Cheese exhibition.
