Italian Cheese – Mascarpone
Posted on October 29th, 2008 by admin
Mascarpone is a cows milk cheese that must be eaten very fresh and is probably best known as the smooth and luscious highlight of Tiramisu. It is a delicious creamy dessert cheese, a little like whipped butter of stiffly whipped cream. It was originally made only in Lombardy in the autumn and winter but is now available all the year round, and is usually sold in muslin bags or tubs. It is often sweetened slightly and thinned with a little cream and served with fresh fruit and liquers.
