Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Asiago can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Combine the water, white vinegar, sugar and salt in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat. Cool for 30 minutes.
Toss the asiago, cucumber, red onion, red bell pepper and jalapeno peppers in a large bowl.
Carefully pour vinegar mixture over vegetables; stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy the pickled veggie-asiago mixture within 7 days.
Serve with corn chips.

Recipe Tip

Avoid touching face when handling jalapeno peppers. Consider wearing gloves, as oils may burn skin.

Cheesemonger Tip

Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

Sartori’s Classic Asiago is an aged, hard cheese with a nutty flavor and creamy finish. For a tasty treat, pair it with warm French bread, dried pineapple or fresh grapes and a nutty brown ale.
