Mascarpone in 250g and 500g sizes.

Mascarpone is a very creamy form of cheese. Its fat content is relatively high at 83% fat in the dry matter. Mascarpone is made from cream or cream. An acidifying agent is usually added. The result is a creamy double cream cheese, which is certainly not a light food. However, mascarpone has an irresistibly delicious flavour.

The popular cream cheese mascarpone has its origins in the town of Lordi. It is located in the Lombardy region in the north of Italy. From there, it has spread all over the world. The word "mascarpone" comes from the Lombard word for cream, "mascherpa". Back then, mascarpone could only be made during the cold season. As a cream cheese speciality, mascarpone did not keep for very long. Since the invention of the fridge, mascarpone can now be enjoyed at any time of year.

Mascarpone is so creamy that it is often used as an ingredient. Both for cooking and baking. For example, for tiramisu, fruity creams, delicious cakes or simply for fruit salad. As a dessert, this cheese is always a temptation. In Italy, it is also a favourite in cooking. In a sauce, in risotto, in a casserole or as a spread with herbs and spices.
