The most delicate cream cheese, whose homeland is the Italian region of Lombardy, perfectly complements the most exquisite desserts. In addition to the fact that the Italians have found a use for mascarpone in sweets, they also use this cheese in the same way as we use butter, that is, they spread it on bread and eat it with tea.
Interestingly, mascarpone is not really cheese, because it is made from heavy cream. The milk from which this cream is collected is taken only from cows that feed on a special inflorescence of herbs and flowers. Thanks to this, mascarpone has such a magical aroma.
In general, mascarpone was first prepared at the beginning of the 17th century. Since then, it has become a favorite product used in a wide variety of dishes. But, thanks to the consistency of the cream and delicate milky taste, cheese is more often used in desserts and sweet dishes. Probably the most famous dessert with Italian mascarpone is tiramisu. By the way, tiramisu recipes and details about this dessert can also be found on our website.
Delicate cheesecake with creamy mascarpone is a classic recipe for cottage cheese pie. Cheesecakes, according to some sources, were eaten in Ancient Greece, but, naturally, then the recipes were without mascarpone.
