Taleggio is a semi-soft, cow’s milk cheese that hails from the Lombardy region of northern Italy. It has a smooth, creamy texture with a slightly crumbly edge and a unique flavor profile that combines a mild tanginess with a fruity and nutty sweetness. The cheese is aged for at least 35 days, during which it develops its characteristic reddish-orange rind, which is washed regularly with brine to help develop the signature aroma.
Despite its strong aroma, Taleggio has a mild, delicate taste that becomes richer as it ripens. It’s versatile in both sweet and savory dishes, making it ideal for pairing with fruits, honey, or nuts, as well as for use in pasta, risotto, and pizza. Its meltability makes it a favorite for gourmet sandwiches and fondue.
Taleggio’s rich history dates back to the 9th century, and it has been a staple of Italian cuisine for generations. It carries the DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) certification, guaranteeing its authenticity and connection to its traditional roots in the Lombardy region.
