Mascarpone Cheese (500g) – BASSI FORMAGGI

Welcome to A Tavola Gastronomia, your premier source for authentic Italian food products in Vietnam. We are proud to introduce our luxurious Mascarpone cheese, crafted by the renowned Bassi Formaggi.

Mascarpone is a creamy, soft cheese from the Lombardy region of Northern Italy. Made from the freshest cream, its production involves a simple yet meticulous process of acidifying the cream with citric or acetic acid. This results in a thick, buttery cheese with a luxurious texture that is easily spreadable and incredibly smooth.

Bassi Formaggi, the esteemed producer of our Mascarpone, is renowned for its dedication to quality and tradition. For generations, the Bassi family has been committed to producing exceptional dairy products that reflect the rich culinary heritage of Italy. Using only the freshest cream and adhering to time-honored techniques, Bassi Formaggi ensures that each batch of cheese meets the highest standards of excellence.

What sets Mascarpone apart from other cheeses is its unique production process and resulting characteristics. Unlike traditional cheeses, Mascarpone does not involve the use of rennet or bacterial cultures. Instead, it relies on the acidification of cream, which gives it a distinctively smooth and creamy texture. Its high butterfat content, typically around 60-75%, contributes to its rich, luxurious mouthfeel.

This exquisite Italian cream cheese is celebrated for its rich, velvety texture and delicate flavor, making it a staple in both traditional and modern Italian cuisine. Join us as we explore the world of Mascarpone, its culinary versatility, and its indispensable role in the beloved dessert, Tiramisu.

Tiramisu, perhaps the most iconic Italian dessert, owes much of its rich and creamy texture to Mascarpone cheese. This beloved dessert is a delightful assembly of layers, with Mascarpone playing a starring role. The smooth, creamy consistency of Mascarpone provides the necessary richness and body to the Tiramisu, while its mild flavor complements the bold notes of coffee and cocoa. Without Mascarpone, Tiramisu would lack the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth quality that makes it so irresistible.
