Taleggio Naturale DOP Lombardy Italy- Creamy & Nutty
Soft, supple, and shaped by generations of Lombard expertise, Carozzi’s Taleggio DOP “Piacere Naturale” offers a refined take on one of Italy’s most historic washed-rind cheeses. Crafted from pasteurised cow’s milk and matured for 35–40 days in the famed Valsassina caves, this artisan Taleggio reflects Carozzi Formaggi’s long-standing mastery of natural rind-washing and slow, attentive affinage.
The thin orange-pink rind reveals a yielding, creamy white paste with a smooth, even texture. On the palate, it delivers the classic Taleggio profile in a beautifully balanced form: gently buttery, lactic, and sweet-savory, with a light tang and softly nutty finish. The natural wash enhances the cheese’s delicate aroma while preserving the purity and finesse that define this DOP staple.
A true expression of Lombardy’s cheese-making heritage, perfect for cheese boards, cooking, and elevating any Italian spread.
