Known since the 10th century, Taleggio is a soft DOP cheese is a semi-soft,
washed-rind cheese, made both commercially in the valleys and on small mountain
farms. The aroma is intense, deep and persistent; the enveloping and delicious
creaminess; the flavour, delicate and buttery, acquires slightly spicy notes as
it matures. The washed rind is thin and moist as it ages, it may develop a layer
of mould, it is edible and adds to the character that is a natural and harmless
characteristic of Taleggio.
The DOP mark guarantees the origin of the milk, the characteristics of the
preparation and the places of maturation, and is awarded by the Consortium for
the Protection of Taleggio only to companies that respect the rigorous
production regulations.
