| Description | Washed rind cheese produced whole pasteurised cow's milk |
|---|---|
| Appearance | The rind is smooth, soft, thin and pinkish; the cheese is soft and creamy, white in colour and without holes |
| Taste | Sweet and slightly sapid, with pleasant notes of cellar and undergrowth; the slightly lower maturing gives a more delicate taste |
| Maturing | At least 45 days |
| 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 |
| Our selection | This is a delicate Taleggio, milky and very creamy, different to the rest |
| 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 |

The producer
Carozzi Formaggi - Pasturo (LC) - Lombardy
Why we chose them
The Valsassina valley, nestled between Lake Lecco and the distinctive Grigna mountain, boasts unique microclimatic conditions that are ideal for
the production of cheese. And it is precisely here that the Carozzi family has been working for over 60 years. Founded in 1960 by Aldo Carozzi, the
company is now in its third generation and is currently run by Roberto together with his three children: Vera, Aldo and Marco. Carozzi passionately
combines the skill of cheesemakers with the latest technology. At the new premises in Pasturo, Lecco, in a modern setting, the human touch
remains irreplaceable in the maturing of washed-rind cheeses, the company's main activity. Prioritising quality above all else, Carozzi matures all the
great Lombardy DOPs such as Gorgonzola, Taleggio and Quartirolo. But that's not all. From the ideas of the younger generations, new projects and
new products have emerged: from the freshest goat's cheeses, to bloomy-rind cheeses, right through to creamy cheeses.
