I’m not going to lie. I remain unsure as to how to pronounce Asiago. I have been saying 'Are-sarge-jhee-oh'. (Without the hypens…!)
I just got back from the States where every restaurant is now featuring Asiago in something or other on their menus! (YAY, have they finally discovered great tasting cheese??) But they all call it 'Ass-ee-arg-go’. I have to say, however you say it, I am LOVING the Asiago, and what is even better is that I am seeing it available in more and more places. When I first fell in love with it, you had to travel to a distant land to obtain it, and then it might not be available…so knock yourself out and search for this in the big two, but remember your little European grocer will invariably carry a better version of it.
