More like a cloud caught in a container than a cheese, Mascarpone is soft, sweet and entirely unforgettable. Almost like a butter-cream cake frosting, your taste buds will think they've died and gone to heaven. Needless to say, Mascarpone has made its place in the cheese world as a delectable dessert cheese.

Thick, creamy and velvety, Mascarpone is heavenly as a dip, filling or frosting, or melted for a sauce. Enjoy Mascarpone with fresh fruits, berries and figs, chocolate or lightly-sweet desserts like shortbread and lady fingers.

Mascarpone was created in Northern Italy nearly 400 years ago, and is a key ingredient to the Italian dessert delight Tiramisu. As an American-made cheese, Mascarpone has been praised as being just as delicious as it's European ancestor.
