Mascarpone Cheese
Mascarpone Cheese is a rich Italian cream cheese originally from Lombardy, commonly used in desserts like tiramisu and as a creamy component in savory sauces and spreads. It is very energy-dense and high in fat, providing about 44g of fat per 100g, with much of that as saturated fat. Nutritionally it supplies modest protein and some dairy micronutrients such as vitamin A and B12, and delivers high-quality dairy protein typical of soft cheeses; because of its richness it’s best used in small amounts as a flavoring or finishing ingredient.
