When Mascarpone is added to a sweet or savoury dish, it enhances the flavour with a rich and indulgent taste.

Mascarpone is an essential ingredient in any Italian household and can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes to enhance flavour without overwhelming it. Mascarpone is delicious stirred into a soup, adds rich indulgence to pasta sauces and pairs beautifully with cocoa or coffee in desserts.

It can also be used to thicken puddings and dessert creams and can be served with fruit or syrup for an elegantly simple finale to a meal.

Whether you buy mascarpone to use in a dish or use on its own, it will raise your creation to new culinary heights.

Fragrant spice and verjuice poached pears with pistachio mascarpone
