Taleggio DOP Whole Wheel

What it is

Taleggio DOP is a soft Italian cheese with a creamy paste and a delicate, buttery character. The whole-wheel format is intended for professional cutting and portioning.

Producer and format

The reference is supplied as a whole Taleggio DOP wheel. Its intact format lets the kitchen cut portions as needed for boards, preparation and the pass.

Organoleptic profile

The cheese is soft and creamy with a mild savoury flavour and buttery notes. It melts smoothly, making its character useful both cold and in warm preparations.

Professional uses and quantities

Cut for cheese boards, antipasti and composed starters, or melt into polenta, risotto, sauces and gratins. Start with the quantity required by the recipe or about 30 to 50 g for a cheese-board portion.

Errors to avoid

Do not leave the cut surface exposed, heat the cheese aggressively or use so much in a dish that its delicate flavour disappears. Cut only what service requires.

Storage and handling

Keep refrigerated according to the pack instructions, protect the cut surface from air and return the remaining wheel to cold storage after portioning.
