Vicenza is known for its simple dishes, and often famous cheeses, fruits, ingredients and wines, such as Asiago cheese, Marostica cherries, Nanto truffles and Breganze Cabernet wine.

Asiago () is an Italian cow's milk cheese that can assume different textures, according to its aging, from smooth for the fresh Asiago ( Asiago Pressato ) to a crumbly texture for the aged cheese ( Asiago d ' allevo ) of which the flavor is reminiscent of Parmesan.

The aged cheese is often grated in salads, soups, pastas, and sauces while the fresh Asiago is sliced to prepare panini or sandwiches ; it can also be melted on a variety of dishes and cantaloupe.

As Asiago has a protected designation of origin ( Denominazione di Origine Protetta or DOP, see below ), the only " official " Asiago is produced in the alpine area of the town of Asiago, province of Vicenza, in the Veneto region.

Asiago cheese is one of the most typical products of the Veneto region.

The production area is strictly defined: it starts from the meadows of the Po Valley and finishes in the Alpine pastures between the Asiago Plateau and the Trentino's highlands.

The officially designated area where the milk is collected and Asiago DOP cheese is produced, extends to four provinces in the north-east of Italy: the entire area of Vicenza and Trento and part of the provinces of Padua and Treviso.

Asiago cheese which is produced and matured in dairies located more than 600 metres above sea level, using milk from farms also more than 600 meters above sea level, is entitled to the additional label “ Product of the Mountains ".

The origin of Asiago cheese is very ancient like the history of the zone where it was born, which was colonized from the beginning of the Middle Ages.

Conventionally its birth is dated around the year one thousand ; in fact there are rare testimonies coming from the Asiago highland related to the preceding centuries.

During this period, the traditional cheese technique, today still preserved in the farms of the Plateau, is improved and thanks to the modern technology it also spread in the small and mid-sized dairies outspread in the territory of Asiago.

The Consorzio Tutela Formaggio Asiago, which is based in Vicenza, was set up in 1979 to control the quality of Asiago cheese, to make sure the designations, markings and seals are used correctly and to raise awareness of the cheese in Italy and abroad.

Foods such as Gorgonzola, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Melton Mowbray pork pies, Asiago cheese, Camembert, Somerset Cider Brandy and Champagne can only be labelled as such if they come from the designated region.

During World War I, the First Army bore the responsibility of a long front from Stelvio Pass on the Swiss-Austrian Italian tri-border to the Asiago plateau.
