| 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 |

The producer
Carozzi Formaggi - Pasturo (LC) - Lombardy
Why we chose them
Valsassina, nestled between Lake Lecco and the characteristic Grigna, offers unique microclimatic conditions ideal for cheese production. 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 managed by Roberto and Donata along with their three children: Vera, Aldo, and Marco. Carozzi passionately combines
the skill of cheesemakers with the most modern technology. In their new facility in Pasturo, Lecco, within a modern environment, human expertise
remains irreplaceable in the aging of washed-rind cheeses, the company's primary activity. With a focus on quality, Carozzi ages all the great
Lombardy PDOs like Gorgonzola, Taleggio, and Quartirolo. But that's not all. New ideas from the younger generation have led to new projects and
products: from fresh goat cheeses to bloomy rinds, and even creamy cheeses.
