Mascarpone cheese is a rich, creamy Italian cheese made from cream and an acidic element like lemon juice or vinegar. Originating in the Lombardy region of Italy, it is known for its smooth, velvety texture and mildly sweet, buttery flavor. Mascarpone is a key ingredient in desserts such as tiramisu, but it also enhances savory dishes, spreads, and sauces. Nutritionally, mascarpone is high in fat due to its cream base, making it calorie-dense, with a significant amount of saturated fat. While it provides some protein and calcium, its high fat content means it should be enjoyed in moderation. Those seeking alternatives for heart-healthy diets may opt for lower-fat substitutes. Perfect for indulgent recipes, mascarpone adds luxury and richness to any dish.
