Can I use Parmesan or Asiago?
Yes, you can use either one, or any combination of cheeses, but remember that the quality of the cheese will be a key factor in the final taste. A note about Parmesan: the imported variety is very flavorful, but also extremely expensive. If you use certain domestic varieties instead, they will be more economical, but they may not have the flavor you expect. The traditional Calabrese meatballs were made with the more rustic and boldly flavored Romano cheeses.
