When dinner needs a quick savory finish, shredded cheese can go onto pasta or into sauce. Miceli Dairy Products Company makes Italian cheeses, including aged Asiago in shredded form. It is a handy option for busy evenings when there is little time for extra prep.

At 15, John Miceli sold traditional ricotta and mozzarella from his Model-T pickup truck on Cleveland streets. Today, his children and seven grandchildren lead the company.

Use the aged Asiago as a topping, in pasta dishes, or in a favorite sauce. Keep it close for a simple way to add a savory note to an everyday meal.
