Taleggio PDO from De' Magi in Italy, a semi-soft washed-rind cow's milk cheese from the Val Taleggio in Lombardy. This is the brown-label bottling, matured for around ninety days in the cellars of Andrea Magi.
The paste stays a little chalky right in the middle and turns fully creamy under the rind, so a wedge cut cool shows two textures on the plate at once. The nose comes on pungent from the washed rind, and then the flavor lands fruity and savory with a meaty, brothy pull that lingers. It's not the easy Taleggio for everyone. This is the one for the connoisseur who wants the full aromatic profile the style can carry.
The orange-pink rind is discreetly edible. Leave it on for the whole picture, or peel it back for a more delicate read of the paste. Let it sit out for twenty minutes before serving so the cream line under the rind can loosen up.

Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
