| Description | Whole pasteurized cow's milk cheese with washed rind |
|---|---|
| Appearance | The rind has an orange-pink colour; the paste is creamy immediately under the rind because the maturation takes place from the outside to the inside |
| Taste | Sweet and slightly acidic in the center of the slice and very creamy under the rind, with notes of humid cellar |
| Maturing | At least 7 weeks |
| Curiosity | Taleggio is a cheese of ancient origins, perhaps it dates back to X century; it was born with the need to preserve milk that exceeded family consumption, and once aged in caves or cellars, it was traded or marketed |
| Suggestions | Typical and excellent table cheese, perfect with apples and pears; it is great in first courses preparation and paired with a Moscato wine |
