Taleggio soft cheese PDO (with red lettering) – 2kg

Taddei’s Taleggio cheese is made from raw milk - sourced from farms which are certified for the production of PDO Taleggio cheese - salt and rennet.

Taleggio is a raw-paste cheese with a washed rind (not edible). During the ripening process, the rind is sponged with salt and water to manage the moulds developing on the surface. Moulds are fundamental for a high-quality ripening called ‘centripetal’ - i.e. going from the rind to the inner part of the cheese - which lasts more than two months.

The paste is soft, with a white straw yellow colour; it is uniform and compact, but also has a melt-in-mouth texture. Its scent reminds of undergrowth with a truffle aftertaste and a medium persistence.

Apart from savouring it by itself, what can we pair to Taleggio cheese? Given that it is perfectly meltable, Taleggio cheese is perfect for risotto! Try these recipes out:
