Taleggio Cheese (1.9Kg) (Cut-off 8pm)

Description/Taste: Taleggio is a traditional Italian washed-rind cheese made from cow’s milk, renowned for its soft, creamy texture and rich, buttery flavour. Originating from the Lombardy region of northern Italy, it is easily recognised by its distinctive pink-orange rind and pale, supple interior. Despite its strong aroma, Taleggio has a surprisingly mild and delicate taste, with subtle tangy notes and earthy undertones. As it matures, the cheese becomes softer and develops a more complex flavour profile. Uses & Flavour Pairings: Taleggio melts beautifully, making it an excellent choice for risottos, pasta dishes, pizzas, tarts, toasted sandwiches, and gourmet burgers. Its creamy texture and savoury flavour pair exceptionally well with pears, figs, walnuts, mushrooms, truffles, honey, and cured meats such as prosciutto and salami. It is also a popular addition to cheeseboards, served alongside crusty bread and fruit chutneys. Ingredients: Pasteurised Cow's Milk, Salt, Starter Cultures, Rennet. Allergens: Contains MILK. Preparation and Storage: Keep refrigerated and store wrapped in wax paper, cheese paper, or its original packaging to maintain freshness. For the best flavour and texture, remove from the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes before serving. The rind is edible and can be enjoyed as part of the cheese. History: Taleggio is one of Italy's oldest cheeses, with a history dating back over 1,000 years. It was originally produced by farmers in the Val Taleggio region of Lombardy as a way of preserving surplus milk during the autumn and winter months. Today, Taleggio is protected by PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status, ensuring it is produced according to traditional methods within designated regions of Italy.
