Wine & Words

In 1979, BelGioioso Cheese Company President Errico Auricchio moved his family from Italy to America to start a cheese company like the one his grandfather had founded in Italy over a century ago. The result -- the complete line is made with the freshest milk and from authentic Italian recipes.

BelGioioso Cheese has been specializing in all-natural, award-winning Italian cheeses for over 20 years. The Wisconsin based company consists of five state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. Each plant specializes in a specific cheese that is produced there daily by the same cheesemakers. All BelGioioso cheeses are crafted using only the freshest Wisconsin cow's milk.

Mascarpone is a naturally sweet, yet surprisingly light, soft cheese made from the freshest pasteurized cream. The ultimate dessert cheese, it compliments chocolates, coffee, fruits, liqueurs and is used to make tiramisu. Excellent on pasta, or as a delicious biscuits or muffins (with just half the calories of butter).

This is the one we use for our popular Honey Mascarpone sandwich. Just mix the Mascarpone with shredded carrots, toasted pecans and honey to taste. Great on our Raisin Pecan bread!
