Asiago Cheese Bread
LOVE Asiago cheese, love bread, put them together? YES please. Comfort food...seriously good eating.
Asiago cheese is a traditional Italian cheese that originated in the Alpine region of Veneto and Trentino in Italy. It is named after the Asiago plateau, where it was first produced. The cheese has been made for centuries, with records dating back to the 10th century. The way to pronounce Asagio varies and I still cannot make up my mind.
How do you say it? (Pronounced Dee-lish-us!)
