Taleggio (PDO) is a classic washed-rind cheese from northern Italy, celebrated for its rich, creamy texture and bold, tangy flavour.

With origins dating back to the 10th century, this Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) cheese is made from cow’s milk and aged for around six to ten weeks, during which it develops its characteristic orange-pink rind and pungent aroma. Despite its strong scent, the flavour is surprisingly mild, buttery, and slightly fruity, with a delicate earthy finish.

Soft and yielding at room temperature, Taleggio melts beautifully, making it perfect for spreading on crusty bread, folding into risottos, or layering in gourmet sandwiches. Its creamy consistency also enhances pasta sauces and 'polenta', while its subtle tang pairs wonderfully with fresh figs, pears, and full-bodied red wines. With its luxurious texture and balanced depth of flavour, Taleggio is a true icon of Italian cheesemaking.
