Taleggio PDO

Our Taleggio DOP delights the palate with a creamy texture that melts in the mouth. It offers a full and enveloping taste, delicately tangy yet rich in sweet nuances. Its subtle and slightly fruity aroma immediately evokes the fantastic experience of tasting it on its own or within delicious dishes. We have been making it for over a century with the same care, using only local milk, ancient artisanal methods, complemented by modern technologies, and strictly adhering to the regulations.

Deepening

Taleggio PDO is a square-shaped cheese weighing around 2.2 kg, part of the "washed rind" family. It undergoes weekly brushing with water and salt, which gives it its distinctive colouring. Known for its rich flavour and soft texture, Taleggio was first produced in the Taleggio Valley, from which it takes its name, and has historical roots dating back to the 10th century. Lombardy's PDO cheeses are the heart of our production. Taleggio, Gorgonzola, and Quartirolo Lombardo represent the essence of the dairy tradition in our region, symbols of a culture we carefully preserve with dedication. Every day, we work to ensure their quality and authenticity. Each PDO product we create is the result of production processes regulated by precise standards, requiring technical knowledge, genuine passion, and constant commitment.
