Mauri Taleggio D.O.P. 200g

$16.48 each

Description

The micro climate in the natural caves where these cheeses are matured, high in the Alps of Lombardy, encourages the development of a unique flora on the outer rind. Washed and brushed several times over a month, the cheese develops a thin bloom flecked with blue penicillium moulds. Beneath the rind, the ivory chalky texture of the cheese begins to change slowly as it ripens, becoming buttery and soft. The creamy texture, when balanced with the delicious yeasty taste provided by the rind, is one of Italy’s best kept secrets. Mauri Taleggio is considered one of the finest DOP cheeses made in Italy.

About Mauri Formaggi

The history of cheese Mauri has its roots deep in Lombardy, always full of milk of the highest quality. Lombardy is home to some types of cheese, above all soft cheeses such as “stracchino di monte” and “stracchino quartirolo”, the first names of Taleggio, the prince among Lombard cheeses along with Gorgonzola. The authenticity of the Mauri cheese is guaranteed not only by the quality of milk in Lombardy, also the special ripening that benefits from another gift of the territory: the Lanche, the natural caves of Valsassina.
