Mascarpone is a versatile dairy product. It is a soft, fresh, vegetarian cream cheese of the palest buttercup yellow colour. It has been a native of the Lombardy region of Italy for nearly four hundred years but is now produced in many places around the world. The distinction "cream cheese" is only half correct as it is made from cow's milk and full pure cream but no culture or rennet is used in its creation.
The result is an extremely smooth, rich, slightly sweet fresh cheese which is similar to clotted cream. You have not lived to the full until you have tried this supreme delicacy!.

Serving Suggestions

Mascarpone is:

• ultra-rich cheese used in Tiramisu, the most famous dessert from Italy by layering Mascarpone with liqueur and ladyfingers. 
• a good alternative to double cream, sour cream and crème fresche.
• great in a savoury spread when mixed with anchovies, mustard, and herbs.
• a treat on top of breakfast pastries & fruit salad.
• delicious straight, or with a little icing sugar, topped with fresh berries, fresh figs and liqueurs.
• the luxurious decadent flavour and creamy texture in icing or frosting, on cakes and tortes, a heavenly finish.
