taleggio

Washed Rind Cheese

A distinctive odor that has accompanied life in northern Italy's Lombardy region for centuries, is that of Taleggio. Sometimes it's intimidating when making its way into a new region or country, as does anything that is 'extra' and 'in-your-face'. But as we all know, fortune favors the bold, and the lucky ones who dare to spread the rose-white slice of Taleggio on a Bruschetta, or simply mix it with Polenta and Risotto, will experience an unparalleled pleasure. The strong taste enhances any occasion, and despite being unlike anything you've tried before, it magically has a sort of familiarity which makes the flavor unforgettable. Exclusively produced in the high plains of Val Taleggio.
