Taleggio DOP

Italy's Great Surprise. Pungent Outside, Gentle Within.

Named after the picturesque Val Taleggio in Lombardia, this ancient Italian cheese has been made for over a thousand years — and one taste tells you exactly why it has endured. Don't let the aroma intimidate you: Taleggio is one of those beautiful contradictions where a bold, washed rind gives way to a flavour that is surprisingly subtle, nutty, and deeply satisfying.

This batch from Bramante is made with raw cow's milk, giving it exceptional depth and character.

Tasting Notes

• 🧀 Texture: Semi-soft, smooth, and wonderfully creamy
• 🌿 Aroma: Pronounced and pungent — classic washed rind character
• ✨ Flavour: Surprisingly mild and nutty, with a rich, tangy finish that lingers beautifully

Perfect as-is with crusty bread and butter, or melted into a luxurious pasta sauce, risotto, or pizza. Pairs beautifully with a light red wine or a crisp Italian white.
