Taleggio may be one of the oldest soft cheese varieties on the planet. Originating in the caves of Italy’s Val Taleggio (the Taleggio valley) around the 10th century, Taleggio is a washed-rind soft cow’s milk cheese. Taleggio cheese’s flavor is nutty and meaty with a hint of salt.
Arnoldi has been making cheese in the Taleggio Valley since 1924.
