Mascarpone is a delicacy adored by many of us. It’s an Italian cream cheese with a creamy texture and delicate flavor. It’s often used in desserts such as tiramisu, as well as an ingredient in pasta sauces and risotto. It’s also occasionally used as a filling for cakes. Mascarpone is very delicate and melts easily, so it should be stored in the refrigerator and used quickly after opening.
