Taleggio is a semi-soft, washed-rind Italian cheese with a distinctive pungent aroma and a mild, fruity flavor. Properly stored, this delightful cheese can elevate your culinary creations for weeks.
Storage Time
Best enjoyed within 2-3 weeks of opening when refrigerated, though it can last longer if kept well-wrapped. It is not recommended for freezing.
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at 2–7°C (35–45°F) to maintain its optimal texture and flavor profile.
Signs of Spoilage
- An overly ammonia-like or excessively pungent smell that is sharper than its usual aroma.
- A slimy or sticky surface texture, indicating bacterial growth.
- Visible mold growth that is not part of its natural rind development, especially if it appears fuzzy or in unusual colors like green or black.
