| Description | Soft, full cream cow's milk, washed rind cheese |
|---|---|
| Appearance | The shape of the cheese is square. The rind is thin and its color is orangy. The color of the rind is due to the washing process of the cheese, a wash with water and salt that takes place many times during its life. The paste is elastic and its color is white. No eyes |
| Taste | The taste is strong, dolce, nutty and aromatic. The aftertaste is long, full to the palate with hints of acidity and earth |
| Curiosity | Taleggio is an old cheese produced in this area since the 10th century. The area of it's origin is Val Taleggio, in the province of Bergamo, from where it gets it's name. Historically, the people from this valley had the need to preserve the leftovers of their milk production. Then they started producing a cheese that used to be aged in natural caves or in mountain huts and could be either exchanged with other products or sold in the markets. With the growth in Taleggio consumption, the production has spread to the Padana plains where many dairies, small to medium in size, have managed to achieve a synergy between the productive technology and the traditional and old methods |
| Suggestions | Taleggio is a typical and excellent table cheese: it can be eaten as a meal or at the end of the meal; in this case it is perfect with fruit, apples pears; it is great in pasta dishes, omlettes salads and also on pizza |

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.
