Mascarpone

Mascarpone
Mascarpone cream

Mascarpone (English: /ˌmæskɑrˈpoʊniː/ or /ˈmɑːskərpoʊn/, Italian: [maskarˈpoːne][1] is an Italian cheese made from cream, coagulated with citric acid or acetic acid.[2][3] After denaturation, whey is removed without pressing or aging. One can manufacture mascarpone by using cream and tartaric acid, citric acid, or even lemon juice.[4]
Mascarpone is recognised as Prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale (traditional regional food products).[5]

Mascarpone is milky-white in color and is easily spread. It is used in various dishes of the Lombardy region of Italy, where it is a specialty. It is a main ingredient of modern tiramisu. It is sometimes used instead of butter or Parmesan cheese to thicken and enrich risotto.

Origins

Mascarpone originated in the area between Lodi and Abbiategrasso, Italy, southwest of Milan, probably in the late 16th or early 17th century. The name is said to come from mascarpa, a milk product made from the whey of stracchino (shortly-aged cheese), or from mascarpia, the word in the local dialect for ricotta (although mascarpone is not made from whey, as ricotta is).
