| Curiosity | Taleggio is a cheese of ancient origins, perhaps it was made before the 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 | Perfect as a second dish or at the end of the meal, it is very well suited for use in the kitchen; ideal for those who do not like strong flavours |
