Why You’ll Love This

A washed-rind italian classic with a supple paste, aromatic rind, and surprisingly gentle flavor. It offers enough personality for an interesting cheese board while remaining versatile in the kitchen. The texture and flavor make it especially rewarding when served at room temperature, where the full character of the cow’s milk can unfold.

What Makes It Special

Taleggio is washed during ripening, developing its rosy rind, savory aroma, and notes of cultured butter, fruit, and damp cellar.

Perfect Pairings

Pair it with polenta, risotto, mushrooms, pears, speck, crusty bread, Barbera, or farmhouse ale.

Serving Ideas

Melt into risotto, polenta, gratins, or grilled cheese, or serve at room temperature with pears.
