Taleggio
(Cow's milk, Italy)

This cheese leaves a lingering impression on the palate. The flavor is slightly yeasty and salty, a description that may not immediately make your mouth water, but trust us on this one. Taleggio has been irresistible to foodies since Roman times. Usually not as overpowering as other washed rind cheeses, Taleggio is fantastic on crusty bread and with a bottle of wine can be a meal in itself.
