Everyday

Mascarpone is an Italian-style cream cheese recognized for its exceptionally smooth texture and rich, buttery flavor. Made from heavy cream rather than milk, it boasts a higher fat content compared to standard cream cheese. Its luxurious, spreadable consistency makes it a key ingredient in classic Italian desserts like tiramisu, while also enhancing both sweet and savory dishes.
