Asiago
D.O.P.
is produced only in certain areas
From the pasture-land in the Po Valley to Alpine meadows
on the Asiago plateau and in the province of Trent. The milk-collection
areas and the specified traditional zones of production, which
have been established by law, lie within four provinces in
the north-eastern region of Italy. The areas are the two provinces
of Trent and Vicenza, and parts of the lowland provinces of
Padua and Treviso. In the year 2002 production of Asiago cheese
exceeded 22,000 tonnes and an invoice turnover of about 90
million euro was recorded for the same year. These figures
raised the Asiago brand to the fifth position in the Italian
national market listings for D.O.P. cheeses.
