What does ASIAGO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A firm, nutty Italian cheese made from cow's milk, named after the Asiago plateau in the Veneto region of northern Italy.
Asiago comes from the Veneto and Trentino areas of Italy, where dairies age it for different lengths of time to produce either a pale, soft, mild cheese or a harder, sharper one meant for grating. Fresh asiago has a gentle, milky taste, while long-aged asiago turns firmer and develops a stronger, nutty flavour close to Parmesan. Cooks scatter grated asiago over pasta, mix it into bread dough, or slice it for a cheese board. Although the name traces back to a place, asiago now works in English simply as an ordinary food word, listed beside cheddar and gouda.

Common in cookery writing and on menus, used for both the fresh and the aged forms of the cheese.
