STERILGARDA Mascarpone 250g

One of the defining characteristics of mascarpone cheese is its creamy and smooth texture. It has a luxurious mouthfeel that melts in your mouth, making it perfect for desserts like tiramisu. In terms of taste, mascarpone cheese is mild and slightly sweet. It has a delicate and subtle flavor that is not overpowering. Unlike some other cheeses, it does not have a sharp or tangy taste as it is a triple-cream cheese made from whole cow's milk. Mascarpone’s velvety texture and mild flavor lend itself well to desserts such as Tiramisu and Cannoli cream, and it is also employed in savory dishes.

When eaten on its own, mascarpone is often enjoyed spread on crackers or bread, where its silky texture and mild flavor shine through.

Originating from the Lombardy region of Italy, mascarpone has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Traditionally made from the cream of cow's milk, mascarpone is a versatile ingredient used in both Italian and international cuisines. Its velvety texture and subtle sweetness have made it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.

Due to its high-fat content, mascarpone cheese is known for its luxurious mouthfeel and ability to enhance the flavors of dishes it is incorporated into. Whether used in desserts like cheesecakes and pastries or savory dishes like pasta sauces and risotto, mascarpone adds a creamy richness that elevates the overall taste experience.
