Mascarpone is a creamy Italian cheese made from fresh cream and citric or tartaric acid. Originating in the Lombardy region of Italy, it is a staple in Italian cuisine, often used in desserts like tiramisu or paired with savory dishes. Mascarpone has a rich, buttery flavor and velvety texture, making it a versatile ingredient. Nutritionally, mascarpone is high in fat, particularly saturated fat, and calories due to its heavy cream base. While it does provide some protein and calcium, its high-fat content means it should be consumed in moderation, especially for those managing heart health or aiming to maintain a balanced diet. It contains minimal carbohydrates and sugars, making it suitable for low-carb diets, but its rich, indulgent nature makes it best treated as an occasional indulgence rather than a dietary staple.
