ASI is the hard cheese expert. Using its 60-year knowledge of hard cheeses, ASI has developed the finest domestic Parmesans in the industry. Its high quality wheels and perfectly flavored blocks are actively sought after by food manufacturers and others for grating and shredding.
Domestic Parmesan
The U.S. is a dairy-rich country where Parmesan cheese has been made since WW II. The U.S. emphasis is on industrial block production for graters and those producing dehydrated/shelf stable products.
ASI, however, now produces a unique 10-month and 18-month artisan Parmesan which follows the true Italian traditions. Made in Wisconsin, this Parmesan is produced in unique vats and set in brine. This is the highest quality Parmesan made in the U.S. It is a special selection for those demanding a superior domestic Parmesan.
No one knows hard cheeses better than ASI and the company uses its technical expertise to produce traditionally flavored Parmesan blocks in state-of-the-art facilities in Minnesota, South Dakota and Idaho. These large volume, price/value cheeses are for graters and food manufacturers.
Organic rBGH-Free
To receive the certification of "organic", a Parmesan must be made following all organic rules and regulations for the care and feeding of cows, production of milk and the final processing facility. Combining its industry expertise for Italian hard cheeses, ASI now produces certified and rbgh-free products.
