[edit] Locale

Asiago is at the center of Itlay's largest montane grassland, about 50 air Km northeast of Padua. Its locale has made possible the tradition of grass-fed dairy cattle, from which Asiago cheese gets its distinctive flavor. The article would be enriched by discussion and photographs of this unusual locale. See, for example: http://www.comune.asiago.vi.it/gallery.asp?img=15.

[edit] Domestic

I wonder whether it is helpful, in an online article about an Italian cheese, to refer to US-made Asiago as "domestic", and Italian Asiago as "imported". Perhaps geographically-neutral phrasing would be more appropriate.

I wouldn't object to that being changed to "American" and "Italian", but I don't object to the foreign/domestic jargon, either, since the majority of all native speakers of English live in the US, meaning most people using english wikipedia are probably from there. --Kaz 00:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
