Il Prodotto
TALEGGIO D.O.P is a cheese that dates back to the tenth century and was born in Val Taleggio, in the province of Bergamo.
This is a valley that is rich in natural caves, where the microclimate is perfect for the ageing of cheese.
TALEGGIO D.O.P is a fat cheese, obtained with pasteurised cow’s milk with a compact paste of light colour that varies from white to light yellow with no holes
The crust is thin, soft and of a natural pink colour
The cheese has a quadrangular parallelepiped shape, a weight of 1,7-2,2kg, with a side of 5-7cm
The ageing lasts at least 35 days and gives the cheese a characteristic smell, a slightly sweet taste and a truffle aftertaste.
TALEGGIO D.O.P is used to prepare exceptional recipes and combines perfectly with red wines with fruity notes, which enhance the cheese’s aromas and soften its rich creaminess. One perfect example is the chiaretto Bardolino. Taleggio combines very well with sparkling red wines, which soften the fat part of the cheese such as pinot noir or merlot, dry Lambrusco, Bonarda or cabernet.
