Taleggio

Ciresa Taleggio D.O.P. is a semi-firm cheese produced from cow’s milk and is made in the Valsassina region of Lombardia at the foot of the Alps. The well-established Ciresa dairy produces this aromatic, mild flavored taleggio with uncompromised quality and artisan traditions. Taleggio is dry salted, which allows the cheese to mature with a dry, sturdy rind. After the initial ten days, it is washed with a brine solution for the remainder of its maturation. D.O.P. dictates a minimum 35 for aging, but Ciresa ages up to an additional fifteen days to allow for more complex development. This square, washed rind cheese has a peach-colored rind, indicative of the aging process and plump texture. Flavors are cream filled and bright, with a balanced earthy robustness on the finish. A perfect addition to an antipasto plate or melted into a panino. Size 2.27kg | 5lb taleggio ciresea D.O.P.
