About Mascarpone
Mascarpone is a rich and creamy Italian cheese originating from the Lombardy region. Made by curdling heavy cream with an acidic agent like lemon juice or vinegar, mascarpone boasts a velvety texture and subtle sweetness. Commonly used in desserts like tiramisu, it also enhances savory dishes such as pasta sauces and soups. Nutritionally, mascarpone is calorie-dense due to its high fat content, with roughly 40-50% being saturated fat. While it provides small amounts of calcium and vitamin A, its nutrient profile is primarily indulgent rather than health-focused. Suitable for occasional use, mascarpone adds a luxurious touch to recipes, but moderation is key to maintaining a balanced diet.
