Curiosity:

Asiago production dates back to the year 1000, when it was produced with sheep's milk. In 1500 sheeps were replaced with cows and shepherds developed the production technique still used today in the mountain dairies. The most ancient Asiago is Asiago d'Allevo, whereas Asiago Pressato is a more recent cheese, produced since the '20.
