Mascarpone is a deliciously rich and creamy, triple-cream spreadable cheese made from cows’ milk, denatured with citric acid. Mascarpone is ivory in color, soft and delicate and is easily spread with a texture similar to butter at room temperature. When fresh, it smells like milk and cream.

Mascarpone is ideal for desserts and as a substitute for cream. It is a main ingredient of the Italian dessert tiramisu. Serve with fresh fruit. It can also be used instead of butter or Parmesan cheese to thicken and enrich risotto.
