Buffalo Milk Taleggio

Creamy, aromatic, and decadently rich, Buffalo Milk Taleggio is a rare and exquisite take on the beloved Northern Italian washed-rind cheese, made with 100% buffalo milk. This variation enhances Taleggio’s signature buttery smoothness with the full-bodied depth and luscious texture of buffalo milk, creating a bold yet balanced flavor profile with a silky, melt-in-the-mouth consistency.

Aged in cool, humid cellars, this cheese develops a thin, edible orange rind with a delicate, earthy aroma, while the interior remains supple, creamy, and slightly oozing. Its mild yet tangy notes, combined with a subtle nuttiness and a hint of mushroom-like umami, make it a true gourmet indulgence—perfect for cheese lovers looking for an elevated take on Taleggio.

🧀 Lusciously Creamy & Buttery – A smooth, semi-soft texture that melts beautifully
🌿 Mildly Funky & Savory – A gentle earthiness balanced by sweet, milky richness
🔥 Tangy & Nutty – Hints of fresh cream, toasted nuts, and wild mushrooms

Perfect Pairings:

🍝 Melt into risottos, polenta, or grilled vegetables for added richness

A true masterpiece of Italian cheesemaking, Buffalo Milk Taleggio offers a refined, creamier alternative to its cow’s milk counterpart, making it a luxurious addition to any cheese board or culinary creation.
