	Taleggio Ever since the eleventh century Taleggio has been made by families living near the small town of Taleggio in Lombardy. The cheese uses milk produced by the cows after they have come back down from their summer Alpine pastures in the autumn and winter. Square in shape, Taleggio has a washed rind, pinkish-orange in colour and slightly sticky to touch that has fruity aromas of raisins and lemon. The equally fruity, full bodied pâte melts in the mouth and benefits from a very long, luxurious finish. This is a cheese of great character which partners dry whites well. It is wonderful when melted and served with layers potatoes and pancetta or indeed when served simply with gnocchi.

Lombardy
Lombardy is quite remarkable in that its topography changes so quickly, quite unlike any other region in Italy. Mountains, plains, lakes and large, industrial cities somehow nestle together with an intriguing sense of calm. Cheesemaking on the plains is mainly industrial, but moving into higher lands Lombardy makes a number of great cheeses of international renown.
