It cannot get better than this. A signature cheese that caries the ancient tradition – taleggio is celebrated for its flavour and texture. It is a washed rind cheese, and the rind is edible also. The coarse rind keeps the creamy interior intact. Made from cow’s milk, Taleggio is known for its strong aroma and mellow taste. The fruity tang of taleggio is used to spice up dishes like salads, bruschetta, and risotto. Named after a valley from where it originated, the cheese has distinct red smears which are derived from five different moulds. The cheese gets its intense flavour and smell from thorough washing of the rind during ageing. Show more
