Rosemary & Asiago Cheese Popcorn

Homemade popcorn is fresh and delicious and always a family favorite for game or movie night. Do you ever crave a more adventurous popcorn, something more than butter and salt?  We love making big bowls of Rosemary and Asiago Cheese Popcorn, it’s savory, cheesy and a little salty.  Honestly, it’s a bit addicting.

Grating an aged Asiago cheese over warm popcorn adds a bit of nutty flavor and as it melts it gets into all the nooks and crannies of the popped corn to add a delicious savory flavor.

What is Asiago Cheese

  • This Italian cheese from northeastern Italy is made from cow’s milk and has a creamy nutty flavor
  • Fresh Asiago is a semi-soft cheese with a mild flavor
  •  Aged Asiago is a dry cheese with a sharp flavor that depends on its age
  • Make sure when buying Asiago it has the certification of PDO with it along with the Asiago stamp on the cheese rind.  This way you know you are buying the authentic Italian cheese.

If you have some unexpected guest this is a perfect snack to make, everyone can dig into some warm popcorn.  Having company for the big game, this popcorn is the solution for that too.  Needing a snack just for yourself, you can make a small batch of popcorn and enjoy a bowl just for you.

I happen to have several varieties of popcorn and today I am using a Black Jewell popcorn.  This is one of my favorites for flavor and it pops into small kernels with thin hulls and truthfully, I love the color.

Simple ingredient for making cheesy popcorn

  • Popcorn
  • Asiago Cheese
  • Rosemary
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt

How to make homemade savory popcorn

  • Use a 3-quart saucepan with a handle and a lid.
  • Set the pan on the stove at medium-high and add 2 tbls. of oil
  • Let the oil get hot then drop in a few kernels of corn and when they start popping add the rest of the corn.
  • Put the lid on the pan and wait for the corn to start popping. If you can keep the lid slightly ajar it lets stem out.
  • Shake to pan gently over the burner until you don’t hear the corn popping.
  • Pour the popped corn in a big bowl and add toppings.

Make sure you have a big container to toss in all the toppings so you can stir it up.  And this is super important with making popcorn also make sure to add salt, otherwise, you will just have a bland bowl of popcorn.

  • 1/2 cups black popcorn use 1/3 cup yellow popcorn
  • 1/3 cups grated Asiago cheese
