DESCRIPTION

The velvet rebel of Italian cheese.

Born in the misty Valtaleggio Valley of Lombardy, Taleggio has been winning hearts for centuries with its wonderfully creamy center and unmistakable washed rind. Its rosy-orange exterior hints at roughness, but beneath the surface lies a luxuriously smooth cheese that's surprisingly mellow, buttery, and beautifully balanced.

It melts like a dream, spreads effortlessly across warm bread, and transforms everything from fondue to toasted sandwiches into something unforgettable.

Proof that appearances can be deliciously deceptive.

DID YOU KNOW

Taleggio owes its personality to a happy accident. Centuries ago, monks washed their cheese wheels to protect them from unwanted mold. Instead, they created the distinctive washed rind that gives Taleggio its bold aroma and luxuriously creamy interior.

Is Taleggio a strong cheese?

Not as much as its aroma suggests. While the washed rind has a distinctive scent, the interior is wonderfully creamy, buttery, and surprisingly mild with a gentle fruity finish.

Which caviar pairs best with Taleggio?

Crown Reserve Paddlefish caviar beautifully complements Taleggio's buttery richness, while Imperial Ossetra adds a delicate, refined finish. For an indulgent bite, pair it with Artisanal Caviar Honey Butter on warm sourdough.

Is Taleggio good for melting?

Absolutely. Its rich butterfat and moisture content make it one of Italy's finest melting cheeses, perfect for fondue, risotto, baked pasta, and gourmet pizzas.
