Why we love the cheese
Taleggio is an iconic washed rind cheese made from creamy, sweet cow's milk in northern Italy. It is rich, decadent, and has an undeniable funk that is so savory and enticing. While delicious on its own, Taleggio is wonderful to cook with and can be melted on pizza, over vegetables and bread, or into pasta sauces.
Why we love the wine
Domaine le Capitaine Vouvray is one of the most food-friendly wines we sell. The balance of acidity and body are perfect for enjoying with just about anything. Ripe peach, melon, apricot, and a hint of refreshing pink grapefruit come through with a kiss of fruity sweetness.
Why we love the pairing
The savory, earthy notes of the cheese mellow with the touch of sweetness in the Capitaine Vouvray. The acidity in the wine balances the decadent texture of the cheese and the notes of stone fruits and melons play perfectly with Taleggio's funk.
What else you should do with it
Taleggio makes an incredible sweet treat. Think sundae vibes: add Taleggio and a little bit of cream to a blender until smooth and airy. Add to a bowl, drizzle with lots of candied sour cherries and their syrup, top with some flakey salt, and enjoy on bread, Effie’s Oatcakes, or even potato chips!
