These cows are fed a special diet of grasses, herbs and flowers, which ultimately gives mascarpone its wonderfully milky fresh flavor and aroma. *~*~* Buying and Storing Mascarpone *~*~* Mascarpone has suddenly become quite popular as an alternative dairy product.

Premium Review Mascarpone: Its pronounced "MAHS-CA-PON-AY" (897 words)

Growing up in an Italian family there was always mascarpone in the fridge. I can't remember there ever not being a tub. Even to this day my mother has a tub of it in the fridge and so do I!

Delia Smith uses it in quite a few recepies, so check out her books if you want some ideas. It makes a very good filling for cakes - a cream substitue that goes well with fruit or jam. I would imagine that ...  Read the complete review
