Taleggio DOP Creamy Alpine Cheese
Taleggio is a delightful soft cheese made from cow’s milk, characterised by a washed rind, originating from the beautiful Lombardy region in Northern Italy. Aged for a minimum of 35 days, it develops a rich aroma, creamy texture, and a wonderfully balanced flavour profile, making it one of Italy's most esteemed cheeses.
The history of Taleggio is quite fascinating, with its earliest mentions found as far back as the 10th century. It derives its name from Val Taleggio, the picturesque Alpine valley where it was first crafted. Today, it continues to be produced using traditional methods and proudly holds the DOP designation, which ensures its quality and authenticity.
Visually, Taleggio is easily identified by its inviting orange-pink rind and creamy bone-white interior. The cheese features a semi-soft, creamy paste that delivers a milky, slightly tangy, and mildly salty flavour, with a subtle complexity enhanced by its rind.
Incredibly versatile, it can be savoured at any time of day and melts beautifully, making it perfect for risottos, polenta, or as a tasty spread on warm bread.
