Taleggio PDO is a cow’s milk Italian cheese. Its origins date back to the 10th century or even before. Farmers created this cheese since they wanted to use the exceeding milk to make a cheese they could eat in the future.
Taleggio is a PDO cheese.

Ciresa PDO Taleggio is the most important cheese of our range of products. Ciresa carefully looks after every single step of its production, from its processing to the delivery, paying great attention to complying with strict quality procedures. Ciresa produces its Taleggio PDO following the old artisanal tradition, which has been handed down from generation to generation.

PDO Taleggio is a squared cheese, produced with whole cow’s milk. It is made of a white, straw-coloured paste, which is homogenous and soft. PDO Taleggio has a thin pink rind, with a slight presence of grey mould, which is the symbol of an accurate ripening. The peculiar environmental conditions in which our PDO Taleggio is aged give the cheese its unique, strong aroma. Indeed, our PDO Taleggio’s aging lasts more than the minimum period stated by the consortium (35 days). In this way, the cheese obtains its intense flavour and unmistakable, unique fragrance. PDO Taleggio is recognisable by its variety of flavours, sweet taste and creamy texture.

Ciresa PDO Taleggio is available in two versions: a higher cheese (PDO Taleggio alto) and a lower one (PDO Taleggio basso). They differ from the height of the paste.
