Mascarpone is a thick, fresh cheese made from cream used in both sweet and savoury applications.
La Casa Del Formaggio was established in 1988 when Gerardo and Rosa Cicchiello converted their humble continental deli in South Australia into a full-time dairy, as demand grew for Rosa’s homemade ricotta. Italian immigrants, both from dairy farming families in Campania, cheesemaking was in their blood. With a focus on milk quality and traditional technique, their business and their range slowly grew to meet the demand of the local Italian community in Adelaide.
Today, the family business is run by their children, Claude, Marissa and Sonia, who along with a dedicated team, maintain the company’s original values of quality and tradition.
Mascarpone is a thick, fresh cheese made from cream. Originating in northern Italy where cream was skimmed from milk and acidified to make Mascarpone whilst the remaining milk was transformed into wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano. The hero ingredient in Tiramisu and a suitable alternative to double cream, it is also a savoury ingredient used to enrich risotto.
