Taleggio

Taleggio is a classic Italian washed-rind cheese made from pasteurised cows’ milk. Traditionally matured for a minimum of 35 days, this particular Taleggio is given extra time in the cellars of the Arrigoni family, where the cheeses are carefully washed, wrapped in muslin and matured in wooden trays. The result is a beautifully aromatic cheese with a rosy, sometimes mould-mottled rind and a soft, silky paste that becomes fruitier and more yielding as it matures, while remaining fresh-tasting and slightly crumbly at the centre. Sweet, buttery and fragrant, Taleggio offers a wonderfully balanced depth of flavour without being overpowering.

Taleggio is delicious served with crusty bread, sourdough, fresh pears, figs or seasonal fruit, and makes a wonderfully indulgent addition to a cheeseboard. Its rich, buttery character also makes it excellent for cooking, melting beautifully into risottos, polenta, pasta, gratins and savoury tarts. Pair with a light to medium-bodied red wine, crisp white wine, Belgian-style ale or dry cider to complement its creamy texture and fruity, savoury flavour.
