Taleggio

Named after the valley of its origin, Taleggio is tradition incarnate. Its coarse rind is edible, and stands in great contrast to the creamy interior. Together, they create a seamless blend of opposing sensations in terms of both flavour and consistency. The outcome is smooth, and slightly acidic.
Made from local cow’s milk, Taleggio uses five different types of mould to produce the red smear that gives it its unique look and flavour. Intense flavours are promoted in the thorough washing of the rind during the aging process, resulting in a strong aroma and a rich yet mellow taste. Soft tones of fruit play in tune with a composition of mild and buttery notes, finishing with a tangy aftertaste that lingers on your palate. Quick to mature, this cheese is ready to eat within 50 days of aging.
